OT ... gpowell, re "The point is in SV there would have been dozens of highly qualified engineers applying for openings. Obviously knowing you can find productive employees has value."

That sounds like the premise for a point never made. Are you suggesting salary and option compensation would even be higher than now .. if the large technology companies were located in areas with smaller labor pools?

Regards, Ron

There are some regions where high-tech talent is scarce. There are other regions where it is abundant. In some cases, superior to the average talent available in SV.

The issue is capital plus talent in the appropriate proportion. If the scarcity is talent, that takes time to solve. If the scarcity is capital however, that can be solved very rapidly.
