> If you're a unicorn-grade developer (God-tier school, significant time solving Major Problems), maybe. I'm not from a God-tier school, but I've been on teams solving non-trivial problems. And I was flown across the country before I had experience like that. > My job search experience has been that it's pretty much "perfect match or gtfo". I've seen a lot of that, too. Maybe their own nth degree persnicketiness is why they have problems filling positions and are willing to fly people in from far away. I was once flown halfway across the country by a medium-small webdev company just north of the golden gate bridge.
