I think that's kind of needlessly confrontational and doesn't make your company look welcoming to someone who might be looking to leave SF/NYC.
That said, it's obvious to me who you work for but anyone who'd be offended won't know.
I'd love to move to Melbourne, FL to do vuln research but I'd have to convince my family to make the move first.
- souprock 10y agoYou're probably right. We are pretty welcoming, but on Hacker News I definitely feel like every single state we're in just gets a giant REJECT stamp from everybody. The one exception is maybe our Austin office, because Austin seems to get an honorary non-Texas label. Working for government customers also seems to earn us a giant REJECT stamp around here. Aside from this particular article, "low-level" feels like another REJECT stamp. I happen to like all that, but I'm not the average Hacker News reader and I know it. To convince your family about the Melbourne, FL area: you can afford 5 acres, or a house on the beach, or a commute of less than a mile, or a huge McMansion. You can surf all year long. I suspect Texas (Austin and San Antonio) and Virginia are pretty good too.
- paulddraper 10y agoAh, I grew up in Melbourne, FL (Palm Bay, actually). It was pretty great. Just know that it will be horrendously muggy during the summers. I miss it though.
