Compensation may be lagging but still being pushed up by national competition and a mobile workforce. However the 2x cost of living premium over the national average in the Bay Area doesn’t seem to have any downward pressure.

Then the cutting edge work seems to be rather myopically focused on advertising, surveillance, yuppie culture products or developer tools.

Plenty of arguments for talent to look away from the Bay Area.

I think the latest Bay trend has been acquihiring teams on in remote locations to cut down on labour costs by shifting more responsibility onto those areas with lower costs of living.
