How hard it will be is impossible to predict. That’s a long way in the future. It totally depends upon their hiring requirements at the time. As for region, you take what’s available to get your foot in the door then move to the location you desire if / when there is an opening and you have sufficient seniority to bid for it. You might end up in North Dakota to start or in the place of your first choice. You just never know.
