#2Interesting proposition. Seems like a no brainer given the dynamic of things today — the biggest problem is connecting the right candidate with the right opportunity, and half the time it's an awareness problem whereby the right candidate isn't aware of the opportunity b/c they don't sit in the bay area to hear about things through traditional channels.

I sit in the bay area. I hear about nothing. This site assumes that "I want a job in SV" necessarily entails "I don't already live there". Could I, already having a job there, try to find a different one via this site?

absolutely! If you're already here you're in even higher demand. Please send your details via the form or email me at justin at link's domain.

#5Does this remind anyone one else of the Grapes of Wrath?

#6Interesting arbitrage...

#7I used to really be attracted to SV. The companies, weather, opportunities; all of it seemed great. Then I realized the living expenses, the government regulations set forth by the state, and the overall smugness of some people and it really turned me off.
Case in point. This websites says "work with the smartest people in the world" as if SV has the highest concentration of intelligent people in the world and as if that's even a measurable statistic.

#8I currently work from home and am interested in a new job in SV, however all of the companies I have spoken with will not allow me to telecommute 2-3 days per week.
I don't see any reason why I need to give up 2 hours of my day traveling to / from work on the days when I need to work exclusively on coding.
So I'll stay where I am.

#9I live in Austin. Same concentration of crazy smart people, only with less attitude. Did I mention that you can actually buy a house here? With a chance of paying it off? And a 25 minute commute?
THIS is why 1 of every 50 cars in Austin has a California license plate.
EDIT: there's less access to VC money here. But that doesn't seem to be stopping people.

Good call Ryan, on both accounts. On the wording, I've tweaked it to include "some of" the smartest people in the world.
But doesn't address the bigger issue of smugness, which I've noticed too. Certainly something in the SV attitude that includes a holy-than-thou vibe, but now that I think about it, I get that vibe whenever I'm around successful entrepreneurs - no matter what city I'm in.
Re the living expenses - it's definitely a deterrent if you're starting your own company. If you're working for someone else though, from what I've seen, the increased pay more than offsets the increased cost of living.
