Great feedback twingles. I have heard that the population is very educated. That's reassuring. I would like to avoid private school for my daughter if possible.
With the hollowing out of good suburban jobs up here (they are all going to NYC/Hoboken/Jersey City), it is nearly impossible to get a decent job near where we live.
Yeah, it is the same on Long Island. Taxes go up, jobs go away, commute 90 minutes each way and enjoy your $12K and up taxes on your 60x100 and oh by the way those are going up every single year. And even NYC jobs are leaving.
We were up in June and the traffic on Long Island was like driving in the city, not just the volume but the gridlock, constant honking - western Nassau county has turned into Queens. Plus it cost my husband $55 to take him and the two boys on a 20 minute train ride to Citifield. It would be laughable if it were at all funny.
Trust me you'll be happy with the schools here. No union so the teachers are much more responsive - more worried about you and your kids than pleasing the union. We've had very caring teachers here and I would put kids from our schools up against kids from NY/NJ schools in a quiz bowl any day of the week.
CIO presently, background in cloud, data/BI and security. I also advise early-stage startups both on my own (side gig) and through a couple VC advisory boards.
I figure (like here) there's not an overabundance of those types of jobs down there which is why I'm starting to put feelers out now. It will take a while to find something so just getting prepared now.

Hello mr c level
Your skills look good I think you have the right idea but yeah you're fishing in a small pool. If you're flexible and your salary requirements aren't stringent I think you can find something to hold while you transition. We still hire a decent clip of out of towners landing for a job.
If would describe our market as substantively Java/.net at the enterprise level. A small but healthy startup in more modern apps. Lots of initiatives at cloud and big data technologies in the enterprise space.
Exactly. Unless you're a millionaire, you're a second class citizen here. And the attitudes here reinforce that. I don't know what the deal is but I can't stand it much longer.
And don't get me started on the weather here. I have to believe its at least marginally better there.

I don't think they asked for 115 degree summers.
