Who do you mean by key hires? Senior SWE? Staff? Managers, Directors? I would think there are plenty of experienced people all over the world.

- RestlessMind 4y agoI would say for roles in senior management (Directors, VPs) and senior engineering (Tech lead, Chief Architect). > I would think there are plenty of experienced people all over the world. Unfortunately, no. Until 2020, remote work was rare so to grow into a senior role, ambitious and talented people had to move to various hubs. That created a feedback loop with all the senior talent flocking to major tech hubs. Now you will find only a tiny proportion of senior talent in non-hub locations. So if you cut off major US tech hubs (SV, NYC, Seattle, Denver) from your hiring pipeline, you are cutting off a majority of your prospective senior hires.
