Oh, yeah, those were just examples. No way I'd move a four-person family to SV, or anywhere near :-)

Portland, Seattle, VA/NC? Maybe. Or remote work.

Nice to know that the SV "Ivy, MIT, or GTFO" standards don't necessarily apply in other tech hubs.

for what it's worth, we have a lot of remote guys that live in texas, midwest, etc. we're in LA and pay those guys LA salaries.
