Why Northern Virginia specifically
Loudoun County is the densest concentration of data centre capacity anywhere, and the constraint here stopped being land years ago. It is now substation capacity and the queue to get connected, which is why schedules slip at the power stage rather than the build stage.
Controls and BAS specialists carry the longest backlog in the country here, around eight months. If you hold a platform certification, this is the market where it is worth the most.
