Just curious, why live in one of the most expensive places on earth and seek work for an employer in a different locale? Are you tied to the Bay Area for personal reasons?
The primary reason I want to remain in the Bay Area is because my family and friends are here. I grew up in the Bay Area and can't imagine packing my bags and leaving them behind. That being said, I'm unemployed and not in a position to be picky. If the opportunity is great, I'll be open to relocating.
