Moving outside a tech hub has distinct disadvantages, besides entertainment. You have less job prospects, thus vastly increase your risk and limit future growth. In addition you are less likely to branch off with colleagues and investors.
For me, the things that would sell me are 1) significant pay above net cost of living compared to tech hub 2) flexible work time policies 3) no attempt to own what I do on the side (CA has clear rules on this) 4) control over job direction and technologies 5) and lastly, maybe your company really is awesome.
- hga 12y agoAdd no non-compete to the list, CA is also clear on that, and for a very long time. It's the single unique thing about the state, and I'm convinced it has a lot to do with Silicon Valley's long term success, especially during the decline and fall of Route 128 (roughly the '80s and the PC era, which I watched first hand).
