| Anyone out there in the Tampa Bay area, I would like some feedback on the IT market there. Thanks | |
|
| I'm located across the bridge from Tampa. Since the 911 to place the IT market here in Tampa isn't that good unless you have some good experience and Cert's or you know someone. But I believe it will be coming back to where it was this summer in my opinion. | |
|
| I just finished my MCSE and landed a job as a trainer with a local CTEC. Starting salary = $43,000 including quarterly bonuses. | |

| Thanks for the imput,how far from Tampa is Clearwater and where is across the bridge from Tampa??
Thanks | |
|
| Clearwater, St.Petersburg (across the bridge), and Tampa are all within a 20 mile radius and are all three adjacent to each other. The three cities are known as the Greater Tampa Bay area.
Many people live in the Clearwater area and commute (across the Gandy bridge) to work in Tampa. Pay is higher in Tampa for the most part and cost of living is cheaper in Clearwater and surrounding cities.
Hope I've helped. | |

| It's good to see that a few other members of this board live/work in the Tampa area. I live in Lakeland and work in Tampa. I haven't been job searching in a while but a year and a half ago when I was there were a lot of openings in the Tampa and Orlando areas (Lakeland's halfway between the two). | |
|
| I've been looking for the past 6 months in the Tampa area for a different position and have had a few interviews, but it seems like all the businesses want a overqualified people and then they dont want to pay jack for them to work... I personally think the IT job market is a little better in Orlando from what I've seen on the Internet and in the paper, but I'd rather stay in this area. | |

| Try www.Kforce.com it's located in Tampa and I highly recommend the place, it's where I went. The best part about the school is that you can re-attend a course again free of charge just in case you didnt get enough info from the first time and as long as they have an open seat. I dont know of any other school that lets you do this. | |
|
| The school I teach at, The Academy, is in Clearwater. www.academyflorida.com. They also allow students to reattend any class they take. They also have a test pass guarantee. Check out their website and give them a call. | |
