Howdy,
Writers are so hot in Silicon Valley that we couldn't
even get resumes for 2 positions we had open. We
finally filled them in Austin.
I have had people who are leaving my company call
me and let me know they can get me a job out there
any time I want it. Silicon Valley is definitely HOT!!
Trust me, you don't want to move to Austin: it's hot
(temperature wise), the traffic sucks (and all the
people moving here are making it worse!), and finding
a home is getting ludicrous and expensive.
