Where are the Tech Jobs?

I’m a student at UWO in Oshkosh, WI. As you can imagine the job market in the tech industry is fairly limited here in the Cheese State. I have plans to move to California when I graduate in hopes of finding a good tech job in a large company. However, I’m still wondering whether there are other locations that might provide greater opportunity than CA.

I guess what I’m asking, and would enjoy a discussion about, is:

Where are you from, and are you impressed/pleased/content with the job availabilty/quality in the tech industry of your stomping grounds?

I’d love to learn about what the hotspots are, and why they’re that way.

Thanks.
