It's not like those other cities are tech wastelands. You'll be able to find a good job. Maybe it won't pay as much as a city where you're being fought over, but then, it doesn't need to.
- mooreds 11y agoI had multiple clients (I'm a developer and a contractor) who had job reqs open for months at a good pay scale and had a heck of a time finding people in the Boulder Denver area. I think that the tech frenzy is great enough that people are fighting over tech folks in other areas--maybe not as violently as in SF, but still fighting.
- WalterSear 11y agoWhat is considered a 'good' pay scale outside the bay area?
- wsterling 11y agoIn Denver and Boudler I'm seeing SWE postings with salary 100K - 160K. Not really much different then SF and a lot cheaper housing. You are really much better off in Colorado then Norhter California. Don't tell anyone!
- zyxley 11y agoSounds like their "good" pay scale wasn't good enough.
- mooreds 11y agoI guess that could have been it. I did some hiring a year or so ago and they pay scales were comparable. And the numbers I see are similar to what I've seen with other jobs (friends, email lists, etc). Each client did end up hiring, but it was a slog.
