Unless he works for an institution that provides good benefits and employment security.
I have young relative who works for a major university in the midwest as a techie. He’s not money hungry to seek out the go-go environment of Silicon Valley. In the mean time, he enjoys the relaxed work hours, biking to campus, and plenty of vacation time.[/quote]
employment “security” is a myth.. And it’s definitely a “myth” for someone just joining a company…except maybe if you work for the government.
The days of good benefits are over, and besides obamacare takes care of everything, so a company’s health plan is not really a selling point these days :)… Especially, if you’re young, single, and healthy, unlazy and motivated…
Heck, Texas is better than Georgia, because Texas actually does have a mini-silicon valley on some of the burbs..
So, like a I said, go for the Silicon Valley tech companies that offers the stock and stock options, pay your dues, and reap the benefits……Because at the end of the day, the color of money all looks the same anyway, and let’s face it…One wouldn’t be “considering to relocate to georgia for a better career” if money wasn’t one of the many motivating factors…People don’t work for free and take on more responsibility for free…unless one got RIFed and is desperately looking for income…
