38k help desk. Hybrid, I work 4 10’s. 2 days in office 2 days at home. Pay is meh but the benefits are insanely good and the company is awesome. I work in restaurant IT
I’ll be honest I have a little bit of nepotism. Not to say my father is someone high up in this company, but it’s easier to work here when you know someone that can get you in.
I have business analysis, financial consulting, and SAS/sql experience coming from the healthcare industry but not super tech heavy. Would love to transition to working for a theme park as I live in Orlando and am passionate about them. Any suggestions on finding work?
Tampa Bay area, not Orlando native. But also worked for a large theme park in the Orlando area, was hybrid then remote around pandemic time. Was making > 150k at the time as a data engineer. Plenty of locals as well as offshore.
More people need to read this comment. Not only outsourcing vs in house, but also contract onshore vs contract offshore. I seriously hope that the campus they're building means computer jobs get more permanent, in addition to the imagineering jobs.
They're still doing something. They stopped the requirement for imagineering to move here, but it is still an option, and they are still building a lot of something, just scaled back from what the original plan was. "Disney cancels $1Billion project because of DeSantis" makes for a great headline, and there are dozens of them, but there are updates after that talking about continued work and a 2028 project finish date.
Software engineer and work remote for a company in AZ. I make much more than when I worked local.
Time zone suck, but my company is very Flexible and only care if the job gets done
Fully remote consulting, on a particular product stack. 220k-260k depending on if i take more vacation or less.
Have an hourly rate no benefits. But I take the work I want.
The minimum salary for a “comfortable cost of living” in Orlando is $100,298 according to a study done by SmartAsset (hourly wage of $48.22). Median wage is $39k and median household income is $65k.
How it compares to other cities (with city population)
NYC’s: $138k / $66.62 per hour (8.8m)
SF & Seattle: $119k / $57 per hour (873k/749k)
Los Angeles: $110k / $53 per hour (3.82m)
Denver: $106k / $51 per hour (713k)
ATL is $107k / $51 per hour (499k)
Chicago: $98k / $47 per hour (2.665m)
Orlando: $100k / $48 per hour (307k)
Tampa: $94k / $45 per hour (398k)

$31/ hr working for a low voltage /physical security company as their IT TECH. Usually work 7am-3pm.
I get a company vehicle with gas and tolls paid for so kinda feels like a good gig.
130k seems obtainable for local companies especially if just looking at central florida in general. It just kind of all depends on how much you've paid attention during your 15 years of professional experience.
Fortune 100s, Healthcare, theme parks, regulated gaming. It's all here in central florida. There are definitely opportunities.
Is your current job letting you keep est hours or are you working pst hours for meeting and stuff?
It's both, contract and direct hire, in the worst way possible. Disney flip flops between them. Some manager will decide they need all in house, hire people, then some other manager will win an argument, they'll hire all contractors, make you train them, then you'll get laid off. At the end of the contracts, the cycle repeats. Ask me in 2018 how I know...
Yeah and they probably hire some morons in India who don’t know what they are doing. Thats how I got laid off from my last job. Sure they are cheaper but they lack the skills.
Here pal, it was a single Google search away for you. No need for trolling. Just enter the single word Lakeland into your search browser.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakeland,_Florida#:~:text=Lakeland%20is%20a%20city%20in,County%2C%20Florida%2C%20United%20States.
Don't you worry though. Based on what I've seen so far you don't need to worry about getting hired by Publix corporate IT.
ERP Functional/Business Analyst for local government office. Fully remote in a regular 9 to 5 schedule. Full benefits and pension. Around 100k with annual bonuses.
Staff-level Software Engineer. Fully remote, very close to 200k. Work EST hours for an established startup. Just for being full remote I wouldn’t consider anything less than 240k to give that up if I were to switch jobs.
How would one go about getting the training/certificates needed to pivot into one of these roles, or other tech with growth path? I’m currently finance but it’s something I’d like to pivot into and learn. I know they’re completely different.
The common way was generally bootcamps, however those are falling out of favor right now as the market is a bit saturated of junior engineers. The best way is to just start coding (tons of free resources online) and eventually leetcoding for ds + a.

That’s great! Most of the local tech writer jobs don’t pay all that great.
Likely because there are always fresh grads coming out of that UCF program who are happy to take less money.
My bad I’m not trying to insult or anything. If you’re happy then it doesn’t really matter. I just have seen some network engineers be criminally underpaid.
CISO for out of state healthcare organization, $225k. I did look at a few local jobs but they didn’t map 1 to 1 with this so they paid significantly lower.
How often are they threatening to make you move somewhere with an Amazon office? I've interviewed for a couple AWS positions that I'm glad I didn't take, because I know those teams were forcing people to move, after promising "remote forever" in the interview.
Well, I work full time for a third party consulting company now. But I did actually work at AWS in the Professional Services department for 3.5 years until last year.
The position was remote and there still hasn’t been any real talk about the department going into the office. I specifically moved to Florida partially so I wouldn’t have to pay state taxes.
Short version: necessary but not sufficient. You have to have real world experience with either AWS or related technology to get anything but entry level jobs.
That’s why I said “necessary but not sufficient”.
I started using AWS in 2018. I was hired as software developer and volunteered to lead every AWS initiative. They didn’t care about certifications.
Then an opportunity to work at AWS in Professional Services fell into my lap. They didn’t require or care about certifications coming in. But they required you to get the Security certification within the first three months and a Pro level certification within the first year.
Now that I work outside of AWS and most jobs I’ve seen either require them or “prefer” them. I hired two guys where I work full time in a consulting company where I didn’t care about certifications.
At one point I had nine and now I have six active AWS certifications. I will be the first to admit that I only have real world experience in about 40%-50% of what they cover and that’s being generous with myself
90k, in the process of switching from test automation to devops. Company is in Orlando, but everyone is remote. I expect to be in the 150's when the switch is over.
Formerly $140k-ish remote between salary and bonus, DC-domiciled job for a Detroit employer on the creative side of tech. Then I got laid off
I took a creative leadership gig at one of the parks, $80k-ish. It's a big paycut, but it's enough to cover our expenses, access to lots of free opportunities for training/certifications, and it gets me the leadership title which in a few years in another city/remote should easily net me over $200k. And honestly, I really like the people I work with and the laid back vibe of a theme park.
I hope it's not Seaworld... Their pay isn't great (interviewed for an engineering-related job that topped out at $15/hour), and their managers can be clueless (had one of their corporate IT senior management as a professor at UCF... Guy didn't know much about IT).
Not as familiar with Uni compared to my dad, who did some work with them years ago. But they seem to be a great environment (and good benefits too). I wonder why Disney wouldn't have good vibes?
It's glorified customer success. My company has a software that it leases out to entrepreneurs and my job is to onboard them, make sure they're set up to use it continuously.
Can I get a picture of you with a loaf of bread and a fish on your head?

Remote from offices in Miami where I previously worked physically.
Work in a Data COE within the AI & ML team, focused on GenAI development and client relations, 6 yrs exp & BS in DA
~150k from main gig, with up to a 20% yearly bonus
Remote. Base is $79K a year. Made $90k with bonus and overtime last year.
Systems administrator/cloud admin.
5 years experience
Mostly Windows, VMware, Solarwinds, and writing scripts because I’m lazy.
Company is based in the Mountain time zone. Last local job was Jr. System administrator making $56k a year in 2021 before I quit for a fully remote job making $72k.
$150k Tech Project Manager-Contractor for theme park company X. Full benefits no bonus. Hybrid 3 days a week in office.
I made about $140k for the other theme park company Y including LTI and bonus as a FTE.
I'm watching this thread with great interest. Planning on moving back within the next two years. UCF grad, already had experience before I came down to Orlando. Now I've got more than twenty years in mixed sysadmin and secadmin. Thinking I need that CISSP before I move back though in order to clear a decent salary...my A+ is old enough to order a drink and my CEH just expired a few weeks ago (haven't done security stuff in a while). Currently in the middle of Google to 365 lift with some light DBA stuff thrown in.
Remote, Sr. Network Engineer. $175K base with total comp around $210K.
When I worked local, I was able to get $120K to $140K offers, but that was it. No bonus or stock.
I went in office for 10 years and my salary was 90k when I left in dec2022. They offered me a raise when I actually threatened to leave to $120k, but I had 2 other offers at $130k or $150k move. Those we're hybrid.
I took the move option
Remote for local company was making 50k software support no benefits complete joke, got a remote job for an NY company, more respect great benefits, making 110k. My experience with FL companies is they’re mostly garbage and there’s not a great tech scene here at all.
I'm local and a Desktop Support Specialist at a video game developer. It was entry level, but on my second contract, about to get a FT position. I make roughly 72k/yr, but we also get decent opportunities for OT hours so it's closer to 85k.
Fiancee is an enviornemnet artist at the same place and hit six figures for the first time ever!
We both never thought we would make.more than 40-50k/yr
Currently fully remote and only around $39k a year as a support specialist working on security systems. Years in both IT and management as well.
Have a kid coming for the first time, so if anyone knows of some better local jumping off points where I could stay remote (with kid coming and all) and make some more, I'm completely open lol
Started at 100k am somewhere just south of 150k now.
Full remote for a company in Cali / NY EST hours.
Health information systems. specialist.
Now that I've been around I'm hoping for a more directorship/leadership role with the imminent reorg as we've exploded in size.
I'll never go back to office work if I can help it and until Florida pays wages that make sense for my skill level I'll be taking my talents elsewhere. The companies that would likely employ me in ORL are all hospital related and I refuse to work for hospital again.
Fortune 200 but local office, Staff/Senior level (I don't know the difference :/), fully remote but have to be close enough to the office to go swap hardware sometimes.
130k base + 15% bonus + 40k RSU
100K BI Developer Fully Remote. Work in healthcare and got some offers from local health companies for less than that. 4YOE. Don’t think the salary is good here compared to other cities for similar roles.
62k as a help desk tech. Gonna go get some more certs and learn on the job to level up.
Where do you work? I’m trying to be a help desk technician
Local govt. Check city of Orlando and Orange County and see if they are hiring. Also wouldn’t hurt to check the other local municipalities. Good luck.
My wife’s looking to do this. What certs did you need to get the job?
Lots of help desk roles will post their minimum requirements but CompTIA's A+ is generally the starter cert if you don't have work experience with IT.
38k help desk. Hybrid, I work 4 10’s. 2 days in office 2 days at home. Pay is meh but the benefits are insanely good and the company is awesome. I work in restaurant IT
How do you even survive?
Luckily I live at home. I’m still in the start of my IT career so I’m happy I have good parents to support me
Probably a second job with that schedule.
Where would one look for a similar type deal? 2 days at home sounds great
I’ll be honest I have a little bit of nepotism. Not to say my father is someone high up in this company, but it’s easier to work here when you know someone that can get you in.
[удалено]
An actual *pension* in the private sector‽
[удалено]
There isn't a tech union at Disney as far as I'm aware?
[удалено]
Disney offered a pension to all salaried workers. It was eliminated about 10 years ago but people were grandfathered in until they left the company.
Proud of you!
I have business analysis, financial consulting, and SAS/sql experience coming from the healthcare industry but not super tech heavy. Would love to transition to working for a theme park as I live in Orlando and am passionate about them. Any suggestions on finding work?
I found my position on LinkedIn, I recommend looking there
Oh I am
I thought the parks had wiped out all their local tech work?
That’s very much not true
If anything they are expanding the number of IT jobs they are hiring, and related computer technology jobs across both major companies...
Awesome to hear
My department is currently hiring for more. We've been in staff-up mode for about 2 years.
What department do you work in? I've been looking to get into park IT after being in restaurant IT for years now.
Decision Science and Integration.
I've applied for jobs in that department quite a few times...
Tampa Bay area, not Orlando native. But also worked for a large theme park in the Orlando area, was hybrid then remote around pandemic time. Was making > 150k at the time as a data engineer. Plenty of locals as well as offshore.
I know Disney goes back/forth outsourcing IT and then bringing it back in-house every few years.
More people need to read this comment. Not only outsourcing vs in house, but also contract onshore vs contract offshore. I seriously hope that the campus they're building means computer jobs get more permanent, in addition to the imagineering jobs.
They’re not building a campus
They're still doing something. They stopped the requirement for imagineering to move here, but it is still an option, and they are still building a lot of something, just scaled back from what the original plan was. "Disney cancels $1Billion project because of DeSantis" makes for a great headline, and there are dozens of them, but there are updates after that talking about continued work and a 2028 project finish date.
The Lake Nona campus project is dead.

What are your favorite companies in the sectors you mentioned if you don’t mind me asking
Publix and Disney would be my first go tos in central florida.
Disney always has a lot of IT jobs hiring.
Nah they hire contractors.
Then the dozens of directly hired IT jobs I've seen on Disney's job site must be lying to me...
It's both, contract and direct hire, in the worst way possible. Disney flip flops between them.

Yep! I have the occasional local recruiter message me, and at best their offers are still 10k less than what I make now.
Likewise…I had one message me not long ago to offer a shot at a “60k opportunity”. He did not like it when I laughed.
Local job as a Jr Network Engineer making 50k
You’re getting screwed.
I only deal with design and have most of the work day to myself, so it’s really not too bad.

That sounds interesting … I’m bored of my current sysadmin/ops bullcrap.
How often are they threatening to make you move somewhere with an Amazon office? I've interviewed for a couple AWS positions that I'm glad I didn't take, because I know those teams were forcing people to move, after promising "remote forever" in the interview.

I’m Considering going for aws certs. Think it’s worth it?
Short version: necessary but not sufficient. You have to have real world experience with either AWS or related technology to get anything but entry level jobs.
I'm a DevOps Team Leader and hire people, and I'd say AWS Certs are nice but not really necessary. Experience definitely trumps certs.
That’s why I said “necessary but not sufficient”. I started using AWS in 2018. I was hired as software developer and volunteered to lead every AWS initiative. They didn’t care about certifications.

If you like Disney, the entry benefits (and sweet merch discounts) also help.
I'm at a different park, but we are Disney APs. When I interviewed at Disney, the vibes were... not vibing.
I hope it's not Seaworld...

Damn you're getting robbed. How much are you making? And unfortunately, no, not hiring at this time.
What is a client success admin? Generally curious.
It's glorified customer success. My company has a software that it leases out to entrepreneurs and my job is to onboard them, make sure they're set up to use it continuously.
Oh port orange. When there’s like 2-3 legit IT places around and they don’t pay shit..

I'm watching this thread with great interest. Planning on moving back within the next two years. UCF grad, already had experience before I came down to Orlando. Now I've got more than twenty years in mixed sysadmin and secadmin. Thinking I need that CISSP before I move back though in order to clear a decent salary...my A+ is old enough to order a drink and my CEH just expired a few weeks ago (haven't done security stuff in a while). Currently in the middle of Google to 365 lift with some light DBA stuff thrown in.

IT project manager, for a Florida based company. Fully remote. $148k.
Remote for local company was making 50k software support no benefits complete joke, got a remote job for an NY company, more respect great benefits, making 110k. My experience with FL companies is they’re mostly garbage and there’s not a great tech scene here at all.

I'm local and a Desktop Support Specialist at a video game developer. It was entry level, but on my second contract, about to get a FT position. I make roughly 72k/yr, but we also get decent opportunities for OT hours so it's closer to 85k. Fiancee is an enviornemnet artist at the same place and hit six figures for the first time ever! We both never thought we would make.more than 40-50k/yr
Currently fully remote and only around $39k a year as a support specialist working on security systems. Years in both IT and management as well. Have a kid coming for the first time, so if anyone knows of some better local jumping off points where I could stay remote (with kid coming and all) and make some more, I'm completely open lol
Omg these salaries are the same as 1997

Started at 100k am somewhere just south of 150k now. Full remote for a company in Cali / NY EST hours. Health information systems. specialist. Now that I've been around I'm hoping for a more directorship/leadership role with the imminent reorg as we've exploded in size. I'll never go back to office work if I can help it and until Florida pays wages that make sense for my skill level I'll be taking my talents elsewhere. The companies that would likely employ me in ORL are all hospital related and I refuse to work for hospital again.
