Ben,
I have to agree with the other replies. I live in Tampa Florida in a beautiful
home that I couldn't dream of owning in LA or NYC. I moved down here from NYC
for that very reason. Also, I think people just aren't as willing to move
themselves and their families for a job; especially wit
Hello Ben,
Not sure if my boss subscribed to this list or not, hope he isn't, but,
personally, I will work for my current company as long as I'm paid. It was
quite difficult to find a CF job a few years ago, so (as I think) a lot of
people value the fact that they are employed.

I'll second this suggestion. Setting up a VPN is a snap, as well as a code
repository available from remote locations. By expanding your search to
other areas vastly increases your chances of getting a top-notch employee.
If you're looking for a code monkey (someone who you just need for coding

I'll echo many of the other responses...why is being local important?
I do contract work for a small company about 15 miles from where I
live and I only go into the office every couple of weeks. VPN, remote
desktop to manage servers, and a local development environment set up
on my workstation rea
I ran the So Cal CF User Group until it disbanded in the summer of '05. My
impression was that many CF developers in the LA area moved into other
technologies - .NET, Java, php, etc. CF jobs were relatively scarce and
still are. Just MHO...

Considering the trend of this thread, how about a telecommuter in
Philly? Heck, I'm even a certified teacher and have used Destiny with
my students.

Companies want local people because their management can't get it
through their heads that working remotely can be productive. These
companies have to be able to "keep tabs" on what their people are doing.
They don't believe in giving people the freedom to do what needs to be
done, "as long
Well, that's not always true. There's a couple major reasons that some
companies frown on telecommuting:
1) From HR's perspective, believe me, if you do it for one person, you
have to let EVERYONE telecommute at least a portion of the time. This
is of course an enormous headache and too many peo
Bill, Your point #1 is one well made, however, I think that some positions
could be designated as "telecommutable" and not have issues with EEOC or any
other regulatory agency. Then the whiners can just be told "no" and the HR
dept doesn't have to worry about repercussions. Heck, if they get tick
