Oxide is in the Bay Area, and its employees so far seem to be doing fine. That said, it's not like the Bay comes up favorably when compared to...everywhere else in the world; given the choice of hiring in the Bay and...everywhere else, in the entire English-speaking world, I think most sensible people would choose the latter (especially when considering how many of the best and the brightest there are in places like the East Coast and Canada who $175k or $180k would seem fantastic to). I'm sure Oxide won't be hurting for talent, and I'm sure its employees won't be hurting for cash, either. Plus, they are getting equity. Says so right in the blog post.
