Looking for advice/opinions here,
So this past December I received my MIS degree from the University of Florida and want to obtain a position as a Business Analyst. After I graduated I was offered a place to stay from my older brother in Orlando, FL. I accepted his offer and this is an amazing set-up for myself as I can pretty much live rent free while I search for a job, and when I find a job I will be paying an INCREDIBLY low rent to stay here. Additionally I enjoy the central location in the state, as well as being in a metro area.
Now as you can tell it's mid-March… and I still haven’t found any decent leads into a Junior BA type position in Orlando. I realize the Orlando job market is greatly service based, and “corporately” is considered “weak” or at best isn’t as strong as other metro cities in the US. Also I have done some light reading (read: internet skimming) about the economic status and how the job market isn’t the greatest right now.
Which brings me to my dilemma: do I start looking nation-wide to just focus in on getting that first Jr. BA position -- while giving up my extremely low cost of living, and numerous other personal positives for staying in Orlando -- or should I stick it out in Orlando until I find a position here?
Thanks if advance guys!
