This was me. I grew up in Georgia and went to Georgia Tech on the HOPE scholarship, but there just aren't many tech jobs in the area (despite the fact that GT has one of the top ranked CS programs). I moved to the Bay Area a year ago. If Georgia would incentivize the tech industry like it has with filmmaking recently, I bet a lot more people would stay.
- kbrwn 8y agoIt seems like most of the incentives are tax waivers. Georgia also has lots of land for films to work with. Do you think it would work for tech? I'm not sure if Atlanta has the clout to bring skilled engineers from NYC/SF
- durkie 8y agoIt's about to be me too. GT grad and likely moving to Bay area soon.
