Sadly the job market is heavily centralized, from my recent experience. I can get offers in SF, Seattle, or NY, but I&#x27;m personally attached to the Mid-Atlantic for personal reasons, and it&#x27;s been months of hell.<p>Now I don&#x27;t discuss previous salaries, as I&#x27;m sure that has torpedoed several offers. That just leads down a road that is an inverse of the Impostor Syndrome, where they think you&#x27;re overqualified for the position,  and you can tell from the responses and further question. I am seriously wondering about the culture of the game, that it can be so seriously lacking of it&#x27;s shining feature: distributed collaborative work.
