Why not CA or NY?
- FridgeSeal 3y agoNon-American here: do those states happen to have better employee protections by any chance?
- cooljoseph 3y agoYes.
- red-iron-pine 3y agoGenerally, yes. CA and NY are also states that mandatory pay range disclosures for job adverts, too.
- al_borland 3y agoIt could be due to pay. Some companies adjust pay based on where people live, adjusted for COL. CA and NY tend to be on the high end. Just one possible theory, there could be many other reasons.
- ghaff 3y agoThat's the most likely explanation. Companies don't want to go through a whole hiring process just to have a candidate laugh at the offer. Whether or not companies have any sort of formal don't hire in CA or NY policy, I see a lot of non-SV companies informally pulling back from CA--closing offices and the like.
- dlevine 3y agoThese are the most expensive job markets and the company is trying to reduce labor costs.
