I wouldn't want to be job hunting in somewhere other than a tech hotspot. The jobs are extremely thin and far between outside by comparison.

I'm not saying move to bumfucksville (unless you want to I guess?!) but there are other cities with plenty of jobs that pay plenty well that probably don't leap to mind when you think of a "tech hub"

Out of curiosity I looked on indeed recently at Edmonton and there about 2 whole pages of jobs that are even remotely relevant to me.

Non compete clauses being illegal is nice as well. I lived in Idaho and now Michigan and worker rights are non existent.
