In Miami/Ft Lauderdale area

don't think retired old people and batshit meth heads contribute much to tech

You're under water once a year. Nobody who isn't a redneck fucktard would move any tech near you.

Young talent doesn’t want to live in a red state.

Tech people are generally forward thinking. Florida hates the future and doesn’t want to go to it.

Where are the good universities....

someone post Floridaman's adventures

I moved to South Florida for a girl and currently have a pretty good tech job. ~145k+/yr which is great for the area. There's quite a few big companies down this way, lots of medicine, military and aerospace. I do embedded computer vision, so it worked out for me.

We split though, and now I've got an offer from Apple ~195k/yr total comp, but it's back in California. But I just left there, it's crowded, expensive, shit for dating (lots of hot beach girls here) and has a state tax to boot.

I'm considering not taking it, and trying instead for Washington. Amazon, Microsoft, Google Kirkland or a startup maybe.

What should I do Jow Forums?

As a native Floridian I take pride in my state. You pussies don't know what it's like to grow up in pure, utter chaos. I hear people bitching about having to live close to niggers when they're in fucking Canada or some shit and I think to myself how pathetic you would have to be to sit in your gay little aristocratic chair and get upset about the stupidest little shit. Do you know how many fucking niggers there are in Florida? They're everywhere, beating the shit out of each other and fucking shit up, but you know what? Nobody cares. Not even the most hardline bible thumping Republican jackoffs care about any of this shit because growing up in Florida is like going through the trials to the path of enlightenment a thousand times. Floridians are completely and utterly desensitized to everything that you faggots complain about. Every time you walk outside you have a considerable chance of dying, but I don't care. In fact, the mere prospect that I could be stabbed around the next corner makes everything more interesting. I start every morning with a cigar and a huge ass pot of coffee. I fucking love it here. You can go down the street and if some old fruit from Massachusetts tries to complain about my lifestyle I have fill credence to cuss them out without people looking at me funny. The friends I make here are loyal, hardworking Floridians who have been raised in the same chaos as I was. Everyone's trying to get ahead while being left behind in the fucked up world our parents left us, and that's fine by me. Going down to the creek and seeing that weird old man in in the woods isn't very abnormal. As long as you keep your eyes peeled for the local cannibal cartel, you can relax and fish all day. The police are too busy giving tourists speeding tickets to give a fuck if you're fishing illegally.

UF is good

Everyone likes to bitch about the cubans, but I don't. They come from a neighboring land that has just as much Chaos, if not more. They don't wanna start shit, they just wanna smoke their illegally imported cuban cigars all day and do dirty jobs for coke snortin gburnout yuppies who came down here in the 80s to build a bunch of cubicles and operate some drug cartels. Easily some of the better people here swam acfross the Gulf to get away from communism, and I respect them more than any of those jerkoffs south of the border who got to travel on some cozy land.

You can go down to the ghetto and buy loads of shit from the military surplus store. In fact, it's a state pasttime as far as I'm concerned. The jarheads who get posted out here adapt very quickly, and like to set up camp every so often around that place because they know what it's like to be in company of others in a dire state. Say what you will about black people but they don't give a fuck if you're around as long as you leave by nightfall. Who cares if you're in a warzone if you just bought a 100 year old Turkish officer swords from some methhead? Speaking of Methheads, you can get so much form those poor stupid fucks. Toss em a couple bucks and a Dr Pepper and you can get any chemical, weapon, explosive or sexual favor (if applicable) you want. So much for regulating that shit, kiss my ass government. That's another thing, Floridians don't like the goddamn government getting in our business. We're independent, self reliant peices of human trash, and we're proud of it. Floridians are tough. Snowbirds come down here, throwing trash everywhere and fucking shit up all disrespectfully, but we're better than them. You can talk shit about Florida all day, but know that we were BORN in it, MOLDED by it. You merely became a shitposter, but I didn't see your peachy life until I was already a man. Don't fuck with Floridians.

bro, if the federal government ever decided to stop funding flood insurance (which always loses money, mind you), your state would die
it's hot, it's humid, it's touristy, and your aquifers are drying up. why the fuck would anyone want to move there? especially with climate change, i expect people will be moving inland in the next 20 years in the US - it's cheaper than the coastal states, and many states have much more bearable temperatures

Florida is where Americans deports all their white trash to and pretend it doesn't exist. It is literally the white trash capital of the world. Why would anyone want to start a business there?

wait are none of the usa's top five most populated cities in your state? oh none of the top 10 are either? it sure is weird how you dont have dense cities or a tech industry

what the fuck do you need that much money for holy god

id suck cock daily for 145k a year let alone 195

Republicans hate tech companies and actively make policies that drive them away like that constitutional amendment to sabotage solar panels on homes a few years back.

fucking foreign idiot doesn’t know that “cities” are useless for comparing population american. Use metro areas. Fucking jacksonville metero area has more people than many states

Florida produces talent, but it doesn't hold on to it. Tech is not a priority to the gov't down there. It already has plenty of ways to get paid.

I lived in little Havana for like 4 months and it was a pain in the ass. I couldn't go into a gas station on even get a haircut without speaking Spanish.

No one's going to pay you that much to suck cock daily, though, because your dignity is worth nearly nothing compared to a skilled programmer.

Is this in Atlanta?
Also fuck california

Kek

who needs tech when you have tourism

pls ur making dr pepper sound bad

Get the same shit growing up in new york, and probably anywhere that isn't circlejerk whiteville

Jacksonville is the worst city in America. Fuck that place.

That's a funny way to spell tampa

This

Tech jobs are still comfy in Florida
The SJWs are more concerned with opening craft beer breweries than startups, at least in Tampa.

This. At works we deal with indians but usually based and redpilled straight white southern men

There is a massive tech industry in Florida. Are you retarded?

>le ebic florida man maymays
you're all from the midwest, aren't you?

Tampa has gotten a lot better the past decade.

Still a fucking obscene amount of homeless, if not even more so, but it's no longer sirens audible at every part of the city past 7PM every single day.

Isn't it much lower than Georgia? lmao.
Like compared to fucking what? Alabama? Lousiana?
Outside of themepark engineering and shit, making RVs, I don't think there's much.
Full Sail is a joke, too.

Space X HQ should be here. It's in California instead. ?????

He's confusing tech startup with actual tech. Florida is filled with defense companies that work with actual tech, but there aren't that many 'app' companies here

Just be happy you're not overran with the sjw hipster faggots that infest the tech industry now.

all i know is that i went to plant high school for a year and the girls there were literally all fine as hell
and then i went back to leon and was slapped with reality
t. freshman in college i am allowed to say these things

angie varona lives there thats enough

if your definition of the tech industry is "app" companies than you are going to have serious problems if you ever actually attempt to get a job developing software.

>I don't think there's much.
well, what you think is very different than how things really are.

Reading this makes me feel like you aren't from Florida and are just larping based off of Florida man memes you have seen.

That shit is just launched in FL, not developed in FL.

>went to a nerd high school because the others in my county were dogshit
>all the girls there were fucking goblins
Most attractive ones were probably a 6 at best and they were constantly swarmed by orbiters. No thanks.

I work in a pretty big tech company in florida and holy shit, everyone around me is +35 years old and white. Plus they all keep trying to talk to me about Trump. I feel pretty out of place since I'm black so I just smile and nod my head whenever they go off on their non-work related tangents.

Fucking quotas.

They didn't even know I wasn't white until the third interview, plus they're the ones contacted me offering the job thanks to recommendations from my professors.

I've been in FLA for 20 years, never had a problem finding a job.

I can't find the article, but back in the early 90's Florida was supposed to be setup as such. They had a huge IBM office and were trying to lure people in, but I think the state wouldn't cooperate with taxes incentives. So tech companies went elsewhere, see San Francisco.

k-kakkoii..

based and batshit pilled
UF is not good, for like aspiring doctors and linguists maybe but this is Jow Forums and UCF and FSU run circles around UF in all things tech

You got populated by retirees and Puerto Ricans.You ain't gonna have shit and should probably kill yourself.

Fuck Miami, I ain't going near that shithole

I'll stay in Tampa where it's at least tolerably shitholish

You will still come out ahead in California. "Expensive" is a meme made up by brainlets that don't understand that they make more money take home anyway, even after COL.

Okay, Carlos

yeah man, i was doing a construction job recently and the boss got some cubans in to do a couple days work. they could barely speak 3 words of english, and when they learned i was from miami they were confused and said to each other in spanish "he's from miami but he can't speak spanish?" that pissed me off, and it's common sentiment among them. they think everyone else should just learn spanish. they didn't even do that great of a job. they missed some studs when doing the ceiling and one guy was trying to force the circular saw through plywood causing it to lock up instead of just letting the damn thing cut. other than that i'm sure they not total pieces of shit but would prefer they fuck off back to cuba.

>Still a fucking obscene amount of homeless
Why don't American health companies just kill the homeless people and harvest their organs? China is doing it, what's stopping America?

the thing is the only cubans that fled the socialist government were pampered plantation owners and their families who never worked a day in their lives

Because capitalism as we know it requires a reserve army of labor willing to do anyone’s job bit shittier and for less pay so to convince yall to make your boss more money than he’s worth

But homeless people have already been ejected from the labor pool and are basically guaranteed to never work again

I live in tennesee right now, but my granny lives in florida, she and my grandfather are 89 and 94 respectively, both drink insane amounts of coffee(big gulp coffee every morning) smoke sometimes and eat McDonalds for every meal. I don't know how they're still alive, but they are. Also my grandfather is legally blind and he still drives his 2003 corolla. Also, they live in one of the most expensive parts of toun, a few houses down from Derek Jeter, it's hilarious to look at when I'm helping my grandparents with fixing things, behemoth mansions on either side, with fucking waterslides and porsches, and here are my absolutely based grandparents in a house fron 1975(renovated in 1990) bought for 50k, surrounded by the most spoiled and rich bastards from around the country. At this point they don't give a fuck, they have a massive trinitron, a sound setup they bought for pocket change what an audiophile would cut his testicles off for, and a massive record and movie collection, all with a pool and waterside view. Absolutely based.

I guess that's why Florida's so hot

Grew up around the bay, mainly St Pete and T&C. Spent most of my adult life in Orlando and St. Lucie with a couple years in places like Miami and The Keys. Only time I ever worked for a place that didn't decide to close up shop and nope the fuck out of Florida was when I was doing service calls for Tampa Bay DSL, and even those guys had nightmare stories and hoped that after focusing on VoIP that they would leave the state. No sane company would waste resources to move to that shithole of a state and anyone who wants an actual job in the tech industry would be better off moving to California or even Utah right now. Florida is good for tourists, old people and inbreds.

how do you expect to keep anything when youre always hit by mother nature?

Underrated

>hurricane prone area

Florida is just straya lite. Their only merit is that they have at least one good hockey team.

>Their only merit is that they have at least one good hockey team
We also have guns and castle doctrine

And no state income tax

Texas is a red state you fucktard.

>>crocs in your backyard
Alligators*

They're generally pretty laid back and don't bother anything unless you get too close to them. Just stay away from any lake or pond. Generally a good idea anyway since water moccasins can fuck your shit up even if there's no gators around.

this, but its utter garbage. wage is pathetic, and the type of tech jobs there are laughable.

>Florida
>Asian (2.9%)

i found the problem, labor in state is not adjusted to task

>We also have guns and castle doctrine
so practically every state except for ny and nj

Washington here - fuck off we're full. Stay where you're at.

Not many old people work in tech.

What tech jobs are even there. Aside from ultimate software?
I don't count Sysadmin/in-house Dev since any company of a decent size needs these positions

Fuck you that image is so misleading. Most of those companies would barely call their presence in Miami a satellite office.

I'm in Tampa. I constantly have recruiters after me for dev positions in Tampa and St Pete. Still I want to leave.
