bdcny7927 writes with an excerpt from CIO.com to inspire some caution before your next job switch: "IT workers have their choice of many great US cities for work and play (Atlanta, Chicago, Seattle), but what are the cities that you probably should avoid? Here's a very unscientific, highly subjective and unapologetically snarky list of our least favorite US tech job locales."

If I had to name a State as worst State it would be California. Land of tax and spend with no fiscal restraint, holder of first county to declare bankruptcy and likely first State to go bankrupt. Of course the single biggest reason to avoid California for me is that about 3/4 of my firearms are unconstitutionally deemed illegal by the State.
As a New Jerseyan, I am absolutely insulted and appalled that you think there's a state in this great nation more corrupt than us!

Yeah, mark this as flamebait. But sometimes its not about how many jobs are available, its about the quality of the work. I don't see anything attractive about a career that involves having to clean up after the 800 pound gorilla.

I will go corrupt official toe to toe with you. You can have your Tony Soprano wannabes, and I'll put the city of Detroit against your whole exit ramp infested state! Hell, Monica Conyers [wikipedia.org] has more corruption in her little finger than any five state or local officials you can find.
The gauntlet has been thrown down!

I see your Michigan and raise you my Illinois.
You're complaining about a piddly-wit mayor? Of our two most recent ex-governors, one is up the river and the other is likely joining him in a couple years. Our junior senator essentially bought his way into the job and got caught. And that's before we even bring Mayor "Chucky" Daley and his bankrupt-the-state 2016 Olympics and endemic "pay to play" city infrastructure contracts into the mix.
I feel bad for the agony being experienced by MI right now, but you're not even in the same league as the Land of Lincoln in the corruption department. And be grateful for that...
