If your goal is to live in an area where there is actually a shortage of talent and it is really easy to get a new job if you don't like your current one, there are only a handful of options outside of California.
- pc86 10y agoI live in an area where most of the cities are smaller and less crowded than a SF/NYC/Chicago suburb. Tech jobs abound and there is truly a talent shortage. By every quantifiable measure your cost of living here is lower, your paycheck goes farther, and at a nominal level the paycheck is very close to anything you would get in SF for a comparable position.
- vonmoltke 10y agoI live in Dallas, and from what I can tell any shortage here is self-imposed. We just laid off four good developers. Took them three months to find new work. I keep running into walls with recruiters and HR departments who won't even interview me because I don't have their specific boxes checked off. Beggars can't be choosers, so my conclusion is they are not really beggars.
