Recruiters have a joke about Boston: “Don’t try to recruit anyone out of there”.  Why?  Because no one ever wants to leave. 

While this may be a stereotype, I reckon that I have had more people from Boston decline job offers than from any other place.  Never mind the fact that Boston gets more rainfall than Seattle and is windier than Chicago, people from the great state of Massachusetts just can’t be torn away.

So I am pleased to announce that recruiting just got a little easier: http://www.boston.com/business/globe/articles/2007/06/21/room_to_grow_for_microsoft/

Yep, we have opened a Microsoft office in Boston.  Recruiters everywhere rejoice!

While Microsoft has traditionally been a Redmond-centric company, we are quickly changing our ways, and now have people around the globe and in several cities in the U.S. (Dallas, TX; Charlotte, N.C.; California's Silicon Valley; New York; Boulder, CO and Washington, D.C.).

So, welcome to the Microsoft family Boston- you can now work from Microsoft and continue to root for the RedSox.
