How many Google engineers do you think would be willing to move to the midwest or Florida? Especially in return for lower pay (and a one-time bonus).

There are several cities I'd be willing to reloc to -- Florida and the Midwest are not in that list (not even Chicago, due to the winter weather). SF, Seattle, Portland, NYC, Boston are at the top of the list. Maybe San Diego or Austin or the DC area.

I have the same opinion, and actually, one could say that many people are accepting lower net income in exchange for living in and near big cities, because for many the higher rents and decrease in living conditions are not made up for by the higher income.
