The tech industry is full of stories of meritocratic success, sophisticated technology and abundance of wealth. For the average person working at, or with, one of the big tech companies is going to sound like a good idea. Maybe not the opportunity of a lifetime, but few people can afford to search for those, just a decent job in an industry on the rise. They can't really know that the janitor isn't getting rich anymore, heck he probably can't even afford to live anywhere near the offices.
