That was an interesting conversation. As someone who lives and works well outside of any "big city" My commute is about 15 minutes, quality of life is great, housing affordable, etc.

Salary probably isn't as high, but it doesn't really have to be.

> Entry level engineers, fresh out of college get $80-100k easily, and senior positions are often north of $200k. I hired a guy in LA once for $150k and then a month later Amazon offered him double up north. What am I gonna do with that?

Ask him for a referral

yeah he keeps trying to get me to go work there haha

that feeling when you jump to a channel to look for something you forgot but slack's paywall monster swallowed the history.
