What about CO? How is the market there now? I used to live there 4 years ago (then moved to the bay area). Curious how it is now. I like the idea of a place like Portland for affordability/small city/ good public transport, but

Diversity focus should maybe be on diverse backgrounds not diverse skin tones. But its probably easier to do the latter as a company so that you can quickly look progressive to everyone in the industry (PR reasons, etc).

Yeah - They really need to get that rail built along 36. I hate to say it but I hope CO isn't making the same short sighted mistake that CA made. The traffic hell and housing hell is on the horizon :(

I lived there for 10 years - its one of my favorite places to live, but there are a few things that can be perceived as negatives: - snow/cold (however its the mildest you will find for a place that gets snow). But snow is snow if you

Although maybe I'm wrong - I really question that 250K is "typical" pay even in the bay area. I'd say the truth is that is about 1/2 that ( maybe slightly more). If you are the cream of the crop (top 10%ish? in to

This was a great analysis. I grew up in Louisiana as well and you capture my sentiments exactly. It is a shame because New Orleans is a wonderfully historical city, with beautiful architecture and a very walkable downtown. It could be a
