Yes. I'm building a distributed engineering team now (hiring people both inside and outside the bay area). Everyone underestimates how much talent there is outside the core hubs (Bay Area, Seattle, NY, etc). Yes, talent does cluster in those cities, but they don't have a monopoly.
There are lots of smart, driven people outside the talent hubs. Also as a sweeping broad generalization that I frankly can't back up with data, they are a lot less entitled and don't job hop as frequently.
- scarface74 7y agoWhy do I have the feeling that “entitled” is being defined as “they ask for lower salaries that allow the company to keep more of the money they make.”
- Ozzie_osman 7y agoWell they do ask for lower salary (their cost of living is lower), and in my case it's less about "keeping more of the money" and more about having a bigger chance at building a successful product with the runway we have (being an early-stage startup and all). But that's not what I mean by entitled. Entitled is an attitude of thinking one is special and thus deserving of special treatment.
