How many of those Seattle roles are for Amazon and Microsoft? What's missing here when selecting the "Best City" is what sort of variety is there in the market

How many of those Seattle roles are for Amazon and Microsoft?
What's missing here when selecting the "Best City" is what sort of variety is there in the market? Surely you don't want to feel as if you have to stay at a company just because there aren't many other options in your area.
In the last table there needs to be a line item for: # of Unicorn Companies, or # of Publicly Traded Tech Companies.
- adamredwoods 3y agoOr repeated roles that are used as "nets" to catch as many applicants as possible.
- gsaines 3y agoYeah, I actually considered including that, but the answer is super obvious: the Bay Area trounces every other place. I responded to a comment above about this, but I don't want to come off as a Seattle booster or Bay Area basher. I live in Austin and think my own analysis makes the city seem better than it is. We lived in the Bay for 7 years and both my wife and I agree that if we hadn't wanted to raise kids near our parents (a value we agreed on way before having our first), we would definitely have stayed in CA. So many cool people and interesting roles.
- okdood64 3y agoWould be worth then changing the title to “The Best City For Techies for me” then. The way it is now implies you intended to be objective about it.
