I can’t picture a single tech company I would be attached to enough to follow through any geographic move, unless I were a founder of that company. There are plenty of opportunities in the ocean for the average software engineer and company loyalty rightfully doesn’t exist.

California has too much going for it for engineers to abandon it over a company that can’t event afford to keep an office open there, and I’m saying that as an outsider, I much prefer the east coast or Colorado.

This is a concern I'd have, and a major point of tension in my job search.
