I have seen the weekday slaughter of our wildlife all over our roads.
Newbies do not care. They drive like lunatics, hitting deer, raccoons, DOGS, even bears.The demand for more housing is destroying us.
For new comers that don't have a huge amount of money at their disposal, consider living with roommates. You can find rooms to rent near Downtown for about $600-$750/monthly. While renting an single bedroom apartment will cost you $1,200+, plus the application fees (non-refundable) and 3 to 4 deposits.
You can't rely on public transportation in the City, so you will need a car, insurance (obligatory - around $120/monthly), if you don't a license plate be ready to spend $470 plus fees. Uber and Lyft are a good way to get around and avoid such expenses.
When it comes to grocery/market, avoid Publix, Winn-Dixie like a plague. Buy your vegetables and fruits at Walmart and personal items at Dollar General stores. DG Stores offer $5 OFF for purchases over $25 on Saturdays.
Ah, compensation. On a $8-$10/hour range you'll find "seasonal" jobs, like retail/convenience stores. The average people make $11-$14/hour. Some of the occupations are: mechanic, line cook, carpenter, landscaper, driver... For high skilled work, Orlando has a great technology community and lots of startups and they're always head-hunting computer-savvy people.
Expect to work at least 40 hours a week. When hired, employers tend to give you few hours to start, like 20-30 hours/week. So it's always important to discuss that with your employer and always keep in mind your weekly expenses.
Good luck.
