Tech workers think Silicon Valley and startups are losing their luster
I spent seven years in the Bay area, and found it quite a questionable deal. Not that it was a bad place per se, but it was expensive and the stuff I was doing just wasn&#x27;t very special.<p>My sense is that if you are going to go to the Bay area, and put up with those high high costs for everything, you need to make it pay. Spend your weekends doing unusual stuff that you can&#x27;t do elsewhere. Take jobs that don&#x27;t exist elsewhere. And if that doesn&#x27;t sound like your thing, don&#x27;t go there in the first place.
