CAD/ BIM Manager at our company is leaving to move back to Colorado and take a huge opportunity (Stock options, car allowance) with a giant construction & construction management company.  Can't blame him as it's an executive position and we're mid-sized and can't compete at that level of salary.

However, it leaves a gaping hole here that needs to be filled.  One that he and others think I could fill.  Not sure I want to move out of the Architect role and in to IT support.  Bleh, decisions.

Anywho, if you guys know of anyone with a Revit/ Autocad/ Archicad support background who is also familiar enough with Adobe Products and design firm IT support, who's also willing to relocate to Cincinnati, let me know.  (Needle, meet haystack.)

Holy crap. Is that what a computer programmer does these days, really?  Awful drudgework and carrying a beeper?  And with just a high school education?

You tell me; do you think anyone that paid for a college degree would go for a job that paid that much?   why so serious?

My new place is looking for 3d artists and generalist programmers. We run an agile team so the idealperson would be someone who felt comfortable jumping into a lot of different areas. We make iOS games in Unity but if you have experience in general C# or C++ programming and a strong resume in games then we'd still be interested. Based in Madrid and relo is available including visas if required.

That's quite good.  If I'm correct, there's no state tax in Florida as well.  That's like another 8% bonus.

Don't let the wage discourage you.  The benefit's package is pretty tight:


PM me if you have Qs.

This isn't a bad entry level position for someone looking to transition from a hobbyist freelancer to an actual programming career, to make the most of it in that light though would depend on if there are other more experienced programmers that you would be working with.  Salary seems about 8k low though for what it is.

Honestly, it doesn't really matter what the benefits are, that wage is truly terrible, and you'd have to live in Florida.

Even entry level in the gaming industry basically provides those benefits at most major new-ish companies and at least $45-$50k and they aren't in Florida :(

No remote. We're a small team and being able to desk surf is vital. The art role is 3d modelling as well as some 2d stuff on top. Just like with the programming gig we need people who can wear different hats so being able to step up and do some UI mockups or create some particle effects etc would be ideal. We prefer competent generalists to specialised superstars.

What part of SW Florida?  I'm surprised they can compete with Publix who pays folks about 20% more than that with comparable (if not arguably better) benefits.

That's quite good.  If I'm correct, there's no state tax in Florida as well.  That's like another 8% bonus.

That bonus quickly fades to dust once you consider hyper-elevated property values, property taxes, and home insurance.  All of which trickle into rent costs if you're renting, and commercial real estate costs for your employers (further driving down wages).  Factor in the quality of living per dollar and it's lose-lose.  Combined with a predominantly weak salary average due to a very labor unfriendly/pro-business market and hispanic immigrant pressures, it's no wonder FLA has very little skilled labor left outside the space coast.


CAD/ BIM Manager at our company is leaving to move back to Colorado and take a huge opportunity (Stock options, car allowance) with a giant construction & construction management company.  Can't blame him as it's an executive position and we're mid-sized and can't compete at that level of salary.

I'll ask my CAD professor, but last he told me he's stuck in SoFla because of his wife.   Drafting jobs are actually pretty high-demand and well-paying if you target the right sectors and are willing to move.  I'm still debating whether to go whole-hog into the CAM field myself actually.  I saw a Catia-based CAM job working for a defense contractor that paid like $85k entry level.

They probably also want an engineering degree to go with that.

What?  I mean, what?  This is just not even close to true.  Property values here are incredibly low.  I live in a luxury apartment in downtown Tampa and pay $1700/mo for a 1200sqft 2/2.  Comparable apartments in metro areas would run you at least double in other places. 

Just no.  And the salary thing?  I make out the door $71k for a skilled position that would net me about $90k in places like NYC and California.  (Saks and Apple, respectively). Compared to a place that has almost triple the cost of living?  Maybe Miami and such are terrible, but Orlando and Tampa are doing just fine.

I should have qualified by saying SoFla.  I did qualify the space coast, but should've added the I-4 corridor.  In that sense, yes is some ways you are correct.  Matter of fact that region has some of the best small schools in the country ironically.  I wont argue too much on the rest of our points though, as that's taking it a bit too far personally.  As long as you're happy where you are, can participate in a growing community, etc.  it's a good thing.

I will say this though (having been through my share of employment agencies).  The first thing they tell you in meetings is, "STOP FUCKIN' TAKING LESS MONEY."  That is all.

This.  I'd say 95% of the people I've met who've taken less money have been unhappy they did.  The other five still regret it, but are glad their jobs are contained dumpster fires instead of uncontrollable ones.

They say that not because they're sad for you.  They say that because they're sad for themselves, since you've effectively marginalized their expertise by taking a new car's worth of salary per year away from your profession.  Taxation or not.  This is likely somewhat why Schild gets snippy every time he see these salary posts.

I'm trying my best not to burst thy bubble as he tends to do, but also your math is woeful a tad.  If you think it's ok to take a 22% paycut to justify a 3% tax difference though, we'll have to disagree there.  Fuck's sake, take the money and live in Hoboken or Oakland if you have to.

I kinda agree, but for the time being you could make sure you're already a member of existing "quasi-unions" such as IEEE, ACM, and so forth (hopefully as a student, because seriously - normal membership is ridiculous).  As well as showing your face at conferences and adding to your CEUs every year.  Those things in and of themselves (if you utilize the resources given) almost are as strong as being in a large labor union.  Hell, the damned IEEE/ACM lobby is nothing to scoff at.

I will say a lot of these orgs definitely dont pricecheck enough with their members.  They do somewhat (maybe moreso within the smaller societies), but really they need to do better in those regards; which might explain why a lot of people dont renew.

As closely as you guys work work with electrical systems though, it's a wonder why you can't get something similar to IBEW.
