Hello everyone! I am new to the group, and someone suggested you might be willing to offer me some information.

I am writing from California, and considering relocating to the Raleigh area. Unfortunately the trip I made to the area in June, it rained the ENTIRE week. So, I didn't get to scout out the area as I had hoped, especially with the family in tow.  My wife's family is living throughout North Carolina (Charlotte and the coast), but from my research it seems that Raleigh might be the right place for us.

I am looking for information and hoped you might be willing to help. I am senior interactive/graphic designer (10+ yrs.), and I'm looking for information about the industry in the Raleigh area. I had hoped that some of you, or maybe some of your friends might be familiar with the local interactive/graphic/multimedia industry. I am looking for people who might be willing to chat about salary levels, job availability, companies, hiring practices in the SE, corporate cultures, anything and everything, etc.

We are considering moving first and then looking for jobs, thinking it might be easier to look locally than from cross country.  Any advice on this?  It is an intimidating proposition without being fully informed.

I really appreciate any information you are willing to share.

Thanks in advance,

Nuno
