Why hasn't Denver experienced the tech growth that Seattle, Austin, Pittsburgh, etc have enjoyed? There are far fewer exit oops here than other cities. Is it COL? Talent?

I disagree. Plenty of tech growth, but it just doesn’t get the press that Seattle does. Are you actually comparing Denver to Pittsburgh? I find the pay to be pretty good, but not all start ups pay FAANG type salaries. People In Denver, me included, get paid pretty well, but not absurdly well, but that’s because I leave the office at noon on friday to go skiing, or hiking, or go to a Rockies game. I would happily take less money than FAANG to live in Denver and enjoy the lifestyle.

Valid points, and yeah Pittsburgh has had incredible economic growth specifically tech wise in the last 10 years. A lot of that is due to CMU and the talent pool there. I just thought it odd given that we have all the ingredients (airport, central location in the US, desirable living, etc.).

Would love to stay here but options are so slim outside of consulting and the COL isn't exactly cheap enough to justify the salary cut that most industry jobs are asking for.

It takes a long time for a city to build-up a Tech infrastructure. Austin was supposed to be the up-and-coming city back in 84 but it took decades before it was really the huge city for technology that it is today. Pittsburgh started several decades ago with Carnegie Mellon and the robotics program as another example.

It took many years for the Valley to displace Boston as the Tech leader in the country. Now many people don't remember Boston was the leader.

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?

The management team seems to be pretty hands off when it comes to project management and project direction, so it's up to us engineers to figure out how we want to spend our time and who we want to work with.
