NC may have better housing prices and a more temperate climate, but for many millennials that's not nearly enough. Hence the problem attracting talent to the area.
For a time, NC had a reputation as a progressive southern state that worked hard to attract tech businesses.
Now the place is filling up with those on work visas. One neighbor who has the option of working at home or at the office says he usually works at home as the office is filling with those from India, etc. and the work atmosphere isn't as appealing to him as it used to be. Company said they just can't attract American talent.
Austin and Atlanta might be strong candidates. I just don't hear of people moving there for tech jobs. It's Boston that everyone talks about lately.
