If you look at the source, it is &amp;quot;Indeed&amp;quot;, which is obviously not an unbiased sample of data.&lt;p&gt;Let&amp;#x27;s pick a huge employer in Silicon Valley, Facebook, and search for jobs on Indeed.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.indeed.com&amp;#x2F;jobs?q=facebook&amp;amp;l=Menlo+Park%2C+CA&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.indeed.com&amp;#x2F;jobs?q=facebook&amp;amp;l=Menlo+Park%2C+CA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not a single Software Engineer position.&lt;p&gt;And I really don&amp;#x27;t think hot San Francisco startups are using Indeed to look for talent, which is why SF falls so low on their rankings</text></comment>

It has a lot of Fortune 500 company headquarters - Turner Broadcasting with 18+ major online brands, Home Depot, Lowe&amp;#x27;s, etc. Yahoo and Google had offices. There are also a lot of small satellite consulting firms. Cost of housing is much lower, though traffic is bad as well. It&amp;#x27;s a nice green city, but Venture funding is low, so it depends on your ambitions.</text></comment>
