I think it's more referring to compensation. If you're only offering half the pay of some of the alternatives, you're simply not going to get a shot at most of the highest-skilled job seekers. They will, sensibly, tend to go work for the highest-paying employers. Free market for labor and all that.

What about all the skilled software engineers that DON'T want to live in SF.

  • From what I've seen most startups DO expect you to move to SF, though. They just don't want to pay a competitive salary.
