I'm a native Floridian and have over 4 years experience in IT, have an Associates and Bachelors degree and only make 35K as a contractor without benefits. I live in Miami-Dade county in South FL and it's pretty difficult to find permanent well paying jobs in IT. I have always read the best places for IT are in Raleigh/Durham among others. Is this really true? Would it be a good career move to re-locate to Raleigh/Durham or even Charlotte?

The best place to relocate to is the one you get a job offer in
IT jobs are still hard to come by in Charlotte. I would concentrate on the Raleigh area. But also, expand you search up to Richmond, VA, which has a lot lower unemployment rate than the big cities of NC

Is Raleigh a nice city to live in? I've only been to Charlotte. Is it much smaller?

Raleigh is a very nice city to live in. Yes, it is definitely smaller than Charlotte, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, it still has almost half a million in population.

Ok I have a family so would only want the best for them.

Charlotte has more of everything, including the good and the bad - the NFL, the NBA, Nascar, museums, gangs, public schools, you name it. Raleigh might be considered by some to be more boring, but sometimes more boring means more peaceful and family friendly, lol.
