Tech workers swore off the Bay Area, now they’re coming back
Most of these articles were written from a certain perspective for a certain demographic. I have friends with kids, who are minorities, who have decent&#x2F;good paying jobs and they never entertained the idea for a second of moving from the Bay Area.<p>We chatted weighing the good and bad of going full remote and moving to a less expensive city. Racism in SF or LA is bad, but it&#x27;s a known quantity. Being a minority and having to deal with racism in Boise, Idaho, for example, was something they didn&#x27;t feel comfortable with.<p>Also, as a Miami native who&#x27;s been to some of the meetups and gatherings (we never really shut down) it&#x27;s been interesting. So far I&#x27;ve seen more of the finance and marketing side of tech companies than the tech side. I&#x27;ve been meeting with different startups to learn more of their tech stack and to see if they&#x27;re recruiting and rarely has the architect been there. I&#x27;m not sure how that bodes for Miami being a tech incubator if the SWEs are so hard to find.
