Amazon actually has quite a few local offices now. 2k+ SF, 400+ in Irvine, 150+ in Denver, STL, Chicago, etc.
Many of them went in as soon as Amazon figured out how to charge local sales tax in those states and happened in 2014-2015.
Of Amazon's total dev population about 25% is college age. Much more is 5+10 years out of college and where Amazon is looking to recruit.
- jjeaff 8y ago>figure out how to charge local sales tax That's laughable. Charging local sales tax was always a trivial excercise for Amazon. They fought it until they knew they couldn't win any more and then embraced it knowing that they would want to try to control the discussion and try to force any smaller competitors to comply as well to eliminate any advantage for their competition. In other words, they never would have started charging local sales tax if they thought they could get away with it.
