&gt; Facebook and Google don&#x27;t really do Work From Home and don&#x27;t have a lot of remote locations for development depending on where they are. I don&#x27;t know what they offer datacenter staff, but in many areas, that&#x27;s all they have for &quot;not CA&quot;.<p>This is just untrue.  I haven&#x27;t looked closely at Facebook recently (beyond watching the [office in Seattle](<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.geekwire.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;sneak-peek-facebook-plans-epic-rooftop-park-with-walking-trails-and-giant-fire-pit-at-new-seattle-office&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.geekwire.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;sneak-peek-facebook-plans-epic-...</a>) grow quickly) but traditionally Google has had ~50% eng in MTV and the rest spread out.  NY is the second largest office but Seattle and Bangalore are pretty big.  Seattle (and Kirkland) are now at ~2000 people (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;juberti&#x2F;status&#x2F;675022362438316032" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;juberti&#x2F;status&#x2F;675022362438316032</a>).
