I'm very happy seeing this trend. I live in the midwest, away from the tech hubs so my options for work have always been very limited here. The standard advice is to move to one of the coasts to advance your career but I have friends and family here that I've known all my life. Abandoning those relationships for a job... I just can't do it, they mean too much to me. I would wager that there are many other talented people in this position that are seeing these opportunities open up to them.
