If you have not looked at the Orlando area, I would do so. The opportunities in the immediate area are pretty limited and the pay scales depressed due, in part, to the number of retirees (and spouses of retirees) who want to be here and want to have some income for whatever reason.

Be aware that pay scales in general in FL are lower than you are probably used to. The flip side is that you won't have to pay state income tax.

I would look to your professional association(s) to network and find some folks working in your specialty. They will usually know about openings before they get advertised. LinkedIn can also be helpful to find similar folks.

Good luck.
