I am planning to move to NC from SF bay area. which one will be a good choice 'Charlotte vs Raleigh tri-city' in terms of tech career.
Raleigh
How do you feel about banks?
Charlotte is the second largest financial capital on the east coast and third in the US, while the research triangle has more of a tech vibe. I would definitely go and visit first and see first hand. If you want corporate/finance then Charlotte, if more tech(startups, Google, Red Hat, Microsoft, Citrix) then Raleigh area. Its amazing what you can buy there for your SF money + nice weather with some increased risk of hurricanes, but no earthquake, mudslides or significant wildfires. Good luck with your move!
Raleigh. More variety of jobs in tech field. Lots more culture and diversity.
Raleigh, research triangle for sure has the most SE jobs. If you are younger also get the benefit of all the universities.
