Top U.S. Cities for Tech Jobs

Are you seeking a job or career in the Tech field? Are you willing to relocate to land a great opportunity. Your city may not be the greatest place to land a job in a technology field. Where are the best places to live for Tech jobs? What city pays the highest in the field.

 It seems the silicon valley is no longer the highest ranking city for tech jobs. In truth Northern California is still the mecca for all the new technology but there are states that are following closely behind. They are:
  • San Francisco
  • Seattle Washington
  • New York City
  • Washington DC
  • Atlanta Georgia
  • Toronto Canada
  • Raleigh - Durham
  • Austin Texas
  • Boston Massachusetts 
  • DFW Texas (Dallas/Texas)
These are all great cities to have jobs and homes in but what state is going to pay the most? Which city is going to cost the most to live in? Will your profit outweigh your means of living or will you get caught in a financial trap?

Most entry level jobs and careers in technology start at about $50K a year with the highest paying Tech employees possibly making $80K a year. The cost of living in San Francisco will cost more than $24K a year. That price based on a studio apartment alone in the city.

What cities offer the best salary and benefits package for their Tech employees? 

  • San Francisco $45K
  • Seattle $46K
  • New York City $52K
  • Washington DC $46K
  • Atlanta GA $42K
  • Toronto Canada $44K
  • Raleigh - Durham $41K
  • Austin TX $43K
  • Boston MA $44K
  • Dallas/Fort Worth $41K
In most cities a person would have to reduce their cost of living in some way or they would need a partner who also had a full-time job. This is due to the fact that the cost of living in these cities is roughly $20K then the entry level annual income for a job.

Comments are my own? Are you sure?

A person looking at job candidates can see this written all over the place "my comments are my own". This phrase is seen on Facebook, Twitter, Skype, and many social media accounts. The meaning is that the persons comments do not reflect the company or organization that they work for. Is this 100% true though? Do your comments and actions online reflect on a business? Some Human Resource managers will say that the answer is yes. That ultimately when a person starts working for a company they are a reflection of that company and people will judge a business based on the people they have working at the company. For example let’s use a 911 dispatcher that always talks negatively about his job, co-workers, and the clients. Would a hiring manager want to hire a person after looking at their social media sites? A hiring manager is looking for someone who is going to add to the business and not shed negative light on a company. Don’t think that HR looks at social medi...
