Background:
I'm in software/cloud product management and can pretty much work from anywhere, but I'd prefer to be close to a city that has decent software/cloud development. My focus has been cyber security software for the past 10+ years, but I'm comfortable PM'ing other technologies. I know the Bay Area (CA), Atlanta, Boston and Austin would be the best spots for me, but I don't want to move the family to any one of those places (I grew up in Atlanta, 25 years there).
Wife works in procurement and can also pretty much work from anywhere.
Son is 5 years old.
We're active and like to do outdoor things. Wife likes to do triathlons, 10k runs, half marathons, etc.
I've been eyeballing the Jacksonville area. Primarily, the eastern outer part of Jacksonville east of I-295, South of Mt Pleasant Rd and North of Hwy 202.
We'd like to be in a low crime neighborhood that has families with younger children and close to private Christian schools. Ideally, one of those neighborhoods that has the cool country clubs or water parks that the community seems to build around.
I'd bring +2 red votes and +1 future red vote.
I don't think things bode well for the future of where we live now (Washington state) and I want to be amongst the first to leave, if the 1st half of 2021 goes as expected from a legislative and Inslee/coronavirus standpoint.
I haven't considered other FL cities yet, but would be interested in what FL residents have to say.
Thanks for any that can help!
