The Bay Area definitely knows the pain of competing for, and retaining, top talent. Offering interesting perks has become a necessity, not a nice-to-have.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have always loved the Bay Area. I spent a lot of time in the Bay Area. I started my career there. That's a huge part of the excitement for me.
Businesses want to be in places where there is a deep talent pool.
There are a lot of perks that come with fame, and with every positive there's a negative, and then it all kind of balances out.
There is so much talent out there and not quite as much opportunity.
I think I just went into a system that was willing to utilize me and gave me opportunities and I felt fortunate to be able to go to Oakland and put the silver and black on. I wanted to prove to everybody that I could still play.
An enterprise that is constantly exploring new horizons is likely to have a competitive advantage in attracting and retaining talent.
If there's one perk, it's being the quarterback of America's team and being able to make a difference off the field.
I am a Bay Area guy, no question.
It's not about talent once you get to the NFL because everyone's got it. It's about being willing to go that extra mile to be the best and that's something that I've always done.
Nothing is more exciting than being around new talent when it emerges.
