In the last week of August, Twitter entertained dozens of potential young
recruits at a chic studio, while Facebook served drinks and snacks to job-
seekers at its own office. More than 175 showed up to a similar event at
Google in June.
San Francisco? No, Seattle, home of Microsoft Corp and Amazon and fast
becoming a second home for Silicon Valley companies looking to access the
city's plentiful pool of relatively cheap tech talent.
Microsoft alumni are now running the Seattle offices of Facebook Inc,
Twitter Inc and Google Inc, and they look to their former employer as a
source for new talent. Microsoft has always suffered some loss of talent to
competitors, but it now has to battle attractive companies in its own
backyard to hire the tech stars it needs to reposition itself as a leader in
mobile and the cloud.
"A lot of our top engineers are from Microsoft and they are doing really
well," said Rohit Wad, who leads Facebook's Seattle office after an 18-year
career at Microsoft. "The deep computer science knowledge they have is
directly applicable to a lot of work we do."
Facebook has more than 400 employees in Seattle, up from 125 only two years
ago, vastly outstripping the social network's overall growth. It recently
took over a second floor in its rented offices to handle the overflow, and
is starting to fill a third.
"There's a depth of engineering talent and experienced engineers here," said
Wad, whose team does a lot of work relating to Facebook's platform and
mobile development. "That's a big contingent here in Seattle because we can
get people who are proficient in that. There is meaty, fulfilling work here."
Google now has more than 1,400 employees in two centers in the Seattle area,
with the engineering work run by Microsoft veteran Chee Chew. Twitter
opened its Seattle office in January and has almost 100 employees under Jeff
Currier, another former Microsoft manager.

发帖数: 2175 | 9 As the article says, these companies are looking for "relatively cheap
talent". Yes, everyone has a price, but for successful experienced MSFTees
, their unvested stocks are what keep them still at MS. Unless the other
companies offer a huge signon bonus to offset their unvested stocks, these
folks are not looking elsewhere yet.

rate can be the result instead of the cause of house price. Vancouver is
more expensive than most ca cities. Prop 13 skews the tax towards new buyers
, overall higher tax rate of buyer does not stop buyer into market either.
