There's a ton of companies here that will hire you if you have the right experience.

If you're a new grad, however, expect to be out of work for a bit.

Which proves my underlying point that the opportunities in Seattle pale in comparison to SF.

It's almost as if you believe there are only 3 tech companies in Seattle.

Heck, those 3 aren't even the only big tech companies in Seattle, there's Apple, Facebook, Oracle, Twitter, etc. etc. let alone all the other smaller ones. There's more tech companies here than you can shake a stick at.

Apple - is in Cupertino

Facebook - Menlo Park

Oracle - Redwood Shores

Twitter - San francisco

Having an office with paint that says 'Twitter' doesn't mean 'Twitter' is in Seattle. Satellite offices are rarely taken seriously.

An office doesn't have to "taken seriously", whatever that means, to provide you a job, which is all we're talking about. WalterSear even mentioned a satellite office in his post.

If the satellite offices are in Seattle, and the main offices are in the bay area, where are most of the jobs?

Now you're just moving the goalposts. You don't need most of the jobs to have enough.

Fair enough.

Then you're in luck, because there are a shitload of other tech companies in Seattle to choose from!
