- seattle_spring 9y agoThen you're in luck, because there are a shitload of other tech companies in Seattle to choose from!
- Twirrim 9y agoIt's almost as if you believe there are only 3 tech companies in Seattle. Heck, those 3 aren't even the only big tech companies in Seattle, there's Apple, Facebook, Oracle, Twitter, etc. etc. let alone all the other smaller ones. There's more tech companies here than you can shake a stick at.
- ransom1538 9y agoApple - is in Cupertino Facebook - Menlo Park Oracle - Redwood Shores Twitter - San francisco Having an office with paint that says 'Twitter' doesn't mean 'Twitter' is in Seattle. Satellite offices are rarely taken seriously.
- andrewflnr 9y agoAn office doesn't have to "taken seriously", whatever that means, to provide you a job, which is all we're talking about. WalterSear even mentioned a satellite office in his post.
- WalterSear 9y agoIf the satellite offices are in Seattle, and the main offices are in the bay area, where are most of the jobs?
- andrewflnr 9y agoNow you're just moving the goalposts. You don't need most of the jobs to have enough.
- WalterSear 9y agoFair enough.
- dabockster 9y agoThere's a ton of companies here that will hire you if you have the right experience. If you're a new grad, however, expect to be out of work for a bit.
- WalterSear 9y agoWhich proves my underlying point that the opportunities in Seattle pale in comparison to SF.
