Has anyone left the DC metro to move to a tech hub? I just left my current job because I was told it was a java web dev position and it turned out to be a COLDFUSION development position (yes, that apparently still exists in some okaces). So I taught myself React.js, node.js, and am working on a site using these technologies. Is it easier to get a job using technologies like these in a startup hub? I'm told there are alot more positions available in Tech Hubs using non-enterprisey technologies. Is this true? Should I leave the metro for a tech hub like Austin or Seattle?
Sounds like you have the possibility to get yourself a new project and have freedom of movement.<p>Given this liberty, you have two choices:
1. Find/create the most awesome project. Don't care about where.
2. Go to the best town, travel, or whatever, and fix your employment there. Look into remote work.<p>This is one of the rare moments in life where you are free to choose. Do so wisely.
