In addition to already seeing an increasing number of engineers from both Seattle and Los Angeles applying to Triplebyte, two other trends drove our decision to open up in these two locations. First we've seen a continual drop in the number of Seattle based engineers who are willing to relocate to the Bay Area. It's dropped by over half since the start of the year and it's the first sustained drop we've seen since st…

Any reason no love for Boston?

Harj, I'm curious, what's involved in "launching a city" for Triplebyte? Why not accept candidates from anywhere? From an employer's perspective, I would love your service in Toronto.

They probably need a critical mass of employers and candidates.

Why sad? I think it's great. It's awesome that folks can stay where their families are, where they want to live, and participate in this awesome industry. It's going to bring so much more wealth to other parts of the world. We should celebrate that. Congrats on expanding, looking forward to when you come to the midwest!

In my case, the problem is needing to move away from where my friends & family are, because the bay area has gotten too expensive due mostly to the lack of housing. Given a choice, I'd rather be here.

Ya'll sure spend a lot on Reddit ads, even my wife sees them, and she's not your target audience. Is this effective? honestly curious.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that sharing an internet connection with someone means that you will see ads influenced by each other's network traffic, assuming you're going through the same router.
