That is only a problem if you insist on hiring people from such expensive areas. Given Oxide hires remotely, I doubt this is an actual problem for them.

- mtlynch 3y agoAccording to their LinkedIn[0], 28 of their 52 listed employees live in SF Bay Area, so their salaries wouldn't be that high for that area. [0] https://www.linkedin.com/company/oxidecomputer/people/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/oxidecomputer/people/
- paxys 3y agoNo company wants to hire in expensive areas, but that's just where engineering talent is concentrated.
- YorickPeterse 3y agoAh yes, because good engineers can only be found in San Francisco and similarly expensive areas.
- macintux 3y agoHence the word "concentrated". Your snark seems misdirected. I live in flyover country, and there are no shortage of talented people here, but I wouldn't dispute that the per-capita software developer talent in SF is going to be higher.
- clpmsf 3y agoI think it's mostly societal perception. For whatever reasons, a lot of people seem to think of professionals in SF and NYC as smarter or more capable than professionals from Boise or Salt Lake City. Just like a lot of people assume those who got into Harvard or Stanford as 18yr olds are smarter or more capable than those with degrees from the large public universities.
