If the only hiring companies are early-stage VC-backed startups in the Bay Area, that's not very interesting to me. That's the impression I got.

I've been in their system since they first broke in September. I've received 4 offers. 2 were very early stage compaines with <$100k offers. I've also received a $110k offer from a well-known company and $165k from another early stage.

The $110k was at a company I'd consider working for if I didn't have to work from their NYC office. (I'm in SF now.)

It seems the 165k one wasn't. Which is understandable. If they were a great opportunity for you, they wouldn't have to reach that deep into their pockets.

Haven't talked to the company yet. I'm skeptical, but always willing to hear out a new opportunity.
