I lived in Raleigh for about a decade. As far as quality of life goes, Raleigh is a great place to live and raise a family. Like ukit2 mentioned, there's a big different between Raleigh and Durham. Durham has a few sketchy spots, but is overall nice. Chapel Hill is pretty awesome, but more of a college vibe.
Job-wise, there are a few good companies down there. A lot of the agencies are pretty conservative, I've found, largely because they cater to RTP (biotech + pharma etc.). That's not to say that they're bad, but just know that that's pretty common.
The last thing I'll say is that folks down there tend to stay in the same job for longer. As a result, I've found that there tends to be slightly fewer openings. Just know that going in.
I love Raleigh still, and think it's a great place to be. Best of luck! Feel free to email me if you have any specific questions... happy to help.
