Do you realize Austin isn't a small town? And that the experience you are expressing is in no way relevant to what I said or the person I responded too?

Your career in Austin is the exact opposite of what I want. It is the very definition of a "big city" career.

Yes, even though they are working remotely now, they still have a lot of bargaining power given to them by virtue of the many local opportunities available to them. Also, being near a lot of developers can't have hurt their chances of getting a job as a developer evangelist.

Yup and the fallback position of taking a local job if they can't find remote work w/o relocating which (honestly) was the original issue I was bringing up.

It isn't finding 1 remote job that lets you work from a rural area that is the issue. It is finding 20 years worth of such jobs.
