BigCos like Google and Microsoft can afford to pay big bucks and collude together. Startups on the other hand can't always afford to pay $100k+ for a junior engineer.
- Analemma_ 7y agoIf they set up shop somewhere other than San Francisco, they wouldn’t have to.
- fnordsensei 7y agoRight. It’s not really about paying the devs, it’s about paying the landowners.
- robbrit 7y agoThey do set up shop elsewhere. The problem is that the BigCos are also doing the same (NYC, Seattle, Austin, Boulder, etc.) and bringing their high salaries with them.
- bdcravens 7y ago> Startups on the other hand can't always afford to pay $100k+ for a junior engineer. Sounds like a failed business plan then.
