    In Florida, most of the tech jobs seems to be in the Tampa area, but West Palm Beach down to South Miami are good too. You will find more opportunity if you are open to on-site work rather than remote-only. Also consider data center work rather than only maintaining networks in office buildings. Cloud will help you there, but you need the Cloud engineering certs rather than Cloud developer. Do AWS, GCP, Azure and Oracle. Know your way around Unix and Linux, as most networking controls and systems are based on those OSes.
