This is a good link to start looking for IT jobs in the Bay Area - Bay Area Recuiters:
Hmm, that link might be for employers looking for workers....
Try this one:

95! Ok, it's not unheard of...but very, very rare. The summers are around 60-80 (the pacific wind on the
peninsula keeps the temps mild...of course, inland it bakes during the summer - but like MRT said, it's a dry heat.____________________________

Well Calgary is a great city with a growing IT sector and seems to have a reasonable sized Indian population but I think it may be a bit too cold in the winter here for your needs.
Ottawa has a large IT sector but I think it is still hurting from the massive layoffs from when Nortel got into difficulty--perhaps someone else has a better sense on thisYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

I think my current wage would translate to 50k, so im looking for 60+
Definitely don't undersell yourself. $60k is peanuts for somebody with a degree and good experience, anywhere in the US.
Also consider the tax differential of Canada v. the US.
Palo Alto has the most pleasant weather I've ever encountered.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Sorry MRT, just noticed your post.Originally posted by MRT144
cushy government job for palo alto eh? where do i sign up? knowning my luck id work for east palo alto!
Actually, Palo Alto is currently in a hiring freeze until this summer I think. But my partner found his job by having a recruiter contact him. He posted his resume' on several sites (monster.com and dice.com). After a few months, he was contacted my a recruiter concerning an IT position with the City of Palo Alto (at the time, we were living in North Carolina! ). He went through the interview process, was offered the job, so we moved to California.
So my advice is to post your resume on both monster.com and dice.com and see what happends - what do you have to loose?

really though some days where its 80 feel like its 90 just cause im not used to it. youre lucky though, during the summer that marine layer blankets the city! SO true! Those days in June were just fine were I live at (only got up to 82 MAX IIRC). Yes the marine layer can be a God-send at times, but at other times we will be in a blanket of fog, while just 2 miles away, it's blue skies!

You are absolutely right Dan, Palo Alto's weather is near perfect year aroundOriginally posted by DanS
Palo Alto has the most pleasant weather I've ever encountered.
But buying a home in Palo Alto is just scary - in the millions! 
So if you can work there great - live there....only if you hit the lottery!

which leads into my plan to win the lotto tonight!
the only problem i have with palo alto is there is a lot of elitism there and that god awful stanford mall. it sticks out like a sore thumb in that city. downtown palo alto is so charming though...
*sigh* i wish i could enjoy it more often with a lady friend...

Yes, UR Silicon Valley is one of the most expensive places to live in the US.
But remember - You want to "work" in Silicon Valley, not "live" there.
EDIT: MRT is correct, Silicon Valley is not located on the East Bay, but rather on the lower pennsula.Last edited by Wittlich; January 25, 2003, 14:00.____________________________
