Long-term companies in the south bay that have no (or virtually no) SF tech presence. Just off the top of my head: Google/Alphabet, Facebook, Oracle, Texas Instruments, National Semiconductor, Intel, AMD, Applied Materials, Apple, Yahoo, Tesla, Palantir, and so on and so on.
Yes there are lots of kids in SF trying to get their website turned into the next unicorn. That does not make SF the "center of the tech world", it makes it the "center of the SF tech startup world".
- explainthisth 10y agoI know people at the first two companies who work in SF. Not sure about the rest of the list.
- azinman2 10y agoI don't know about the rest, but google has a large office in SF and many, many people wanting positions in it (even if just a few days a week).
- bluejekyll 10y agoGoogle has a large office space just down the street here in SF. Yahoo has/had a huge office in SF. Then on top of that, there are ton of buses going from SF down the peninsula, which recognizes that choice of many to live in SF.
- blueski 10y agoUnless you count the hundreds of engineers and multiple offices Google has in SF.
