With what demographic? They mention ages, but I can think of other things as well.
Maybe its because I have a good job that affords me some freedom, but as a married man soon welcoming a baby, Silicon Valley holds no appeal for me - but then again, tech isn't my life, it's only a portion.
Factors in that statement include cost of living and commute times - both low for me in the Utah Valley.
It probably really does matter that I hate commuting and I'd like a yard.

- dgacmu 10y agoI've spent the last 10 months living in SV under similar circumstances. (one kid, preschool age). Working at Google has been absolutely fantastic. Amazing company and colleagues. Living in SV... Kinda ugh. I'm looking forward to getting back to Pittsburgh. But Salt Lake would do too. :)
- Hydraulix989 10y agoI grew up in Pittsburgh. I'm looking forward to getting back there as well. Maybe you can transfer to their Pittsburgh office? The city has gotten a lot nicer over the past four or so years, it's incredible.
- dgacmu 10y agoI'm returning to my day job in Pittsburgh in a month. Spent the year on sabbatical. (And yes, it really has! I moved there a decade ago, and it just keeps improving. )
