Totally anecdota, but working at <bigcorp> I would say it's close to 100% of new grad hires here, and probably 60-70% of older (35+) engineers? Many people come here even at age 32-35 because they realized working in <midwestern city> that they were never going to get the big break that even 5 years in the Bay Area would give them. So they arrive with a 5-year plan to shovel away savings, then return to <midwestern city> where they'll be able to pay cash for a really nice house and return to their old life but with a much nicer lifestyle and economic base to live on from there on out.
