Interestingly, I briefly worked for a company with a presence both in Silicon Valley and in Charleston, SC. The developers were (with a few exceptions) located in Charleston with marketing and customer facing roles out west. The location of engineering was pretty transparently a cost move, but having the office in the Bay area still put them as a Silicon Valley operation. What I wonder is, what's the job market like for the customer facing roles out there?
- walshemj 11y agoDepends if its an old over 10 years company and doesn't need to quickly employ lots of developers that could work but you are limiting your pool to the local one. As my boss(director level) at Reed Elsiver said if you have offices in the suburbs/boonies you don't get the best developers. Given the large number of disastrous projects we had to try and help recover Id agree with him.
