Maybe the parent means that someone working a support job in SF might want to think long and hard about moving across the country where they presumably know noone and have no social support network or other potential employers if their job with Lyft goes away.
- fencepost 11y agoBut consider also how many of those (barely getting by?) working customer support in SF are actually locals and how many moved to the area to get into tech. Their social support network in the area may be pretty thin.
- wavefunction 11y agoPeople moving to SF specifically for support jobs? That sounds very unlikely to me. Support jobs in a region are filled by locals with limited employment options or by non-locals who have other reasons for moving to that region and just need a job, in my experience.
- fencepost 11y agoPerhaps not specifically for support jobs, but for opportunities to join startups in whatever positions they can.
