Cocoa along I95 should be Orange. I just missed putting the orange there. The area between Orlando and the coast that is swamp and alligators.

That better be high paying, with good insurance! haha
I don't know too many companies that operate out of the swamp and have IT needs.

At least Orlando is a very low cost of living and no state income tax. At least I think the cost of living is low. That's what I have heard.
You can get rooms around Disney World (Kissimee) for around $70 a night (heck I've even got mostly crappy rooms for $35 a night). Things were definitely a lot less expensive than my trip to Cali.

Yup, we go there all the time. Once or twice a year.
Hoping with the new changes in our lives that I can avoid going there for a long time. We were in Orlando for ten days and left for Spain directly from Orlando airport back in March!

Hiring IT in the US is generally hard as there is a lack of people willing to do the jobs in the places where the jobs need to be done. And once you are forced to hire remote workers, why would you hire people in expensive, but equally remote, locations?
Of course, because the pay in those areas is horrible!

But you get great perks, like free gator meat.

Gator is quite delicious
I had it in 1994, it was good for meat.

@scottalanmiller Reminds me of a company around here. They constantly have a position open (probably because it sucks). They call it an "Entry Level DBA." It's literally a phone support person who responds to alerts from Big Brother on client's systems.

How does this remind you of that? We found someone pretty quickly since we paid much higher than mean salary in our area. Do a quick job search and Orlando and you will find the pay to be quite high. Also, I don't know of many salary jobs that only require 40-42 hours 90% of the time. So that also needs to be taken into consideration.

It's not that it isn't a good job, it's that the posting follows a very well known pattern in IT that generally leads to really bad jobs. No matter what the job is, it is only because we know you that we even think that it is real. If you weren't personally vouching for this req, we'd not even think it was from a serious company.

@IRJ For some reason it didn't add the quoted text. I was commenting on Scott's post:
"An incorrect, fancy title. Fancy is one thing, but a title that means something different is something else.
Secretaries being called Office Managers or Executive Assistants is fancy. Secretaries being called Executives is incorrect.
Strangely, secretary is a far more prestigious title a lot of places than assistant."
