Like I said, Dale Carnegie kind of attitude is important in sales organizations. As is decorum, particularly in Japanese organizations. Hamamatsu is a Japanese Company. It's semiconductor equipment division in SJ will doubtlessly be targeting big accounts in Austin like Samsung and Global Foundries (formerly, Motorola). Bashing them is not winning friends and influencing people.
How long will Mr Alder continue in his director role at Hamamatsu?
LOL! Alder's "California Douche Report". Well, I would bet a purse that Alder is a prick who makes everybody around him miserable in California, too

Good for you.
You can make your points, about what you like better about living in California, without attacking the locals of other places, telling what's wrong with them. Because you are not a prick.
Not just home values but salaries as well. If you land a good job at the coast and try to get a similar job somewhere else you will be surprised how deep the pay cut is.
Buddy of mine lives in the IE and hates the commute to the coast. He tried for years to get a similar job in the IE. No chance without taking a 20-25% pay cut. And the IE is only 1.5H from the coast. Cant even imagine how the pay cuts look like in flyover country compared to coastal high paying jobs. Co-workers of mine tried to relocate to another state, keep the salary and job and work 100% remotely.
If your EE is fine with that, great.....but often they will adjust your salary based to the cost of living of wherever you move to.
Makes sense....imagine you live in IL and make 50k for job XYZ. Your new co-worker is from CA and gets 150k for doing the same job but he re-located to IL for whatever weird reason. Wouldn't you be pissed if he gets 3x more for doing the same and living in the same crappy area as y...

Not my words. I was quoting him.
As I say, he can make his pro-California points without making personal attack on others whose region and neighborhood he parachuted into and then decided he didn't like. Because, not all Californians are pricks.
Many (most?) of the California pricks, like that BYU alum, came here from elsewhere.

Looks like Mister Hamamatsu Director of Business Development also made the mainstream press in the NYC area.

Overlaid with a pastiche of Orthorexy and maybe a little TM or Guru Following to show they're well rounded and very morally superior.
Californians, born to be miserable and to spread misery to others as long as they can grasp their way into mm. deep materialism.

@G36 How are others supposed to know how much you make if you don't tell them?

In CA nice people get run over. Trust me nice doesn’t work around here. BLM wasn’t nice and they were in charge, nice people were all singing praises to them.
We have no unifying culture here, so it’s every man for himself.
they think niceness is a sign of being weak minded.
