Getting fired/laid off in Topeka means you'll have a harder time finding a new job than you will in Seattle.
- root_axis 9y agoIt cuts both ways; talent is harder to find in regions like Topeka, so that means much less competition compared to places like Seattle. It also means employers will work harder to retain decent employees compared to tech hubs where talented engineers are plentiful.
- s73ver_ 9y agoI've not seen any correlation between availability of engineers and how hard retaining efforts are. It really comes down to if management knows what they're doing, or has their head up their ass.
