How do we retain talent in KW?

Another thing not mentioned in the article, but that I hear from friends in Silicon Valley, is career mobility. There is so much density of companies there that if your start-up goes bust or you don't like your job it can be super easy to find another job. It can be a problem for the companies themselves who would prefer more loyal employees, but think of North cutting 150-200 people and how quickly that would be absorbed down south vs. locally.

Think back to the BlackBerry cutbacks, and how fast those people were absorbed by the local companies. Today, 200 people finding tech jobs in Waterloo Region is a total non-issue.

Do you think it's difficult to find a tech job in the region today?
