I agree. I live here for the past 6 years. Tons of opportunities. Beyond mailchimp, pindrop and other famous startups you have VMWare, IBM, Oracle, Square, Amazon and Microsoft and even Google hiring for the local offices here. For the commute comment, I live in the suburbs (Alpharetta) and just take the park and ride to Buckhead. Great housing prices (still), great schools, very low crime, and cool things to do. Wouldn't move to SF or NY even if they quadruple my salary.
