I'm not opposed to moving, but aside from just jumping in do you have any recommendations on where to start?
Obviously cost of living, things to do in the city, etc. But should I also try to ascertain hard numbers on the "growth" of the tech sector in that area?
I'd love to do that, but my company is pretty hardcore set in it's ways. :(
Many of the really neat ideas I've had and pitched just don't go anywhere because either A) It's new and shiny, which corporate doesn't like (My company is in the Fortune 500 but we are painfully slow to market). or B) I'm expected to do things as they have always been done because "That's the way we do it."
While brand and marketing adds some value, I fail to see how it adds a 700%+ uptick in price.
