tptacek's advice makes sense. I'd especially stress his point #2, which is to leave yourself the option of going elsewhere than Orlando. Let's be generous and say Orlando has 1% of the tech jobs you're qualified for; if you narrow the set of possible jobs to only local ones, you're ignoring 99% of the possibilities.

If I were the hiring manager (and I've been a hiring manager before) and were aware of your probation, I'd be curious and want to skim the plea agreement. But if you were doing white-hat stuff, as you say, it wouldn't interfere with me offering you a job.
