However, I think many people overlook the fact that you can offer folks 20% less than they make in a major city and still be paying them 10-20% MORE than the currently make in a smaller city. The pay rates in small cities tends to be 30-40% less than the Valley, so a great solution is to split that savings with folks working in these areas–or give them stock options, which small companies in the midwest might not even have.
So, it’s just something to consider. There is a huge bias toward hiring folks in NY, SF, LA, Boston, WashDC, and Seattle in my experience. There are folks just as good in other cities an hour or three outside those major cities.
