Well, one reason that S.V. companies can pay more is that they earn more thanks to being in S.V. Once I've been visiting the mothership and took a bike to drive up/down the road. There have been offices of all kinds of companies I would've never heard about... Except I've seen so many of the logos on various things in the office a quarter world away. I imagine there's quite some value in having your engineers mingle with potential customer's engineers after work.
