This is funny, because based on engineering interview challenge quality, we found that everywhere else in North America has better comp arbitrage to talent. "Bay Area" means you pay more for the same quality that exists all over.

- reasonabl_human 5y agoInterested in learning more about this, if you can point me to the source data somewhere online. Unless you meant your particular company found this in which case I’m guessing you can’t go much further into it.
- DevKoala 5y agoI don’t do technical interviews for roles anymore, and I would probably do poorly on the board. However, I have a lot of experience leading engineering teams at startups and I have designed and built the underlying systems for a handful of successful businesses; one of them just grew to over $100M/yr revenue in the past year. The individuals in my professional network value that, and that is how I keep myself employed. I agree with you on being able to find the same quality of talent outside of the Bay Area. When I hire, I don’t even restrict myself to the same timezone. Some of the best people I have worked with live in Europe.
