Yeah. The region isn't known to attract or retain tech talent.
> Depending on where they're moving from, they might take a pay cut.. Ohio is very cheap to live in
The thing with Cost of Living is that the biggest expense is typically housing. And if you bought the house, it means the biggest expense is... building equity into an asset you can sell afterward.
Keep in mind the engineer who purchased a 2 million house in Palo Alto can sell it for two million, and then move to Ohio to a much cheaper house purchased in cash. The reverse isn't true.
- edenlinger 5y agoI think the region has been attracting talent in the remote shift. Columbus has tens of thousands of software developers. Certainly not on the same scale as the bay but we are here. Lots of insurance and finance. VC influx from former coast vcs at Drive Capital and the folks at Rev1 have been pumping cash and resources into the local startup scene. CoverMyMeds/Root/Olive were the recent unicorns. It might not be the well known bay/NYC/Austin but it has a vibrant scene for the population.
