Ask HN: Where are all the awesome jobs?

I want an awesome job. Don't we all? I've been programming now for 11 years and have plenty of experience in many fields, languages and technologies.

Right now, I can also afford to be very picky when it comes to choosing my next job.

So I'm looking for work based anywhere in the US but obviously some places would be more preferable, such as those near to centres of entertainment, international airports, ski resorts etc.

I'd love a job which doesn't have the traditional American mentality of "more hours makes a better employee" or that taking vacation is some sort of weakness.

Where are these jobs? Do they even exist? Are you currently working at a job like this?
