Startup's plan to ditch Seattle for Bay Area sparks reaction about tech culture, work pace, AI and more
"The hustle factor is real. Right now in [Silicon] Valley, teams are working six, seven days a week because they understand this is a unique moment in technology history."
"Tech culture is full of bullshit and is toxic. This whole idea that you have to work 7 days a week because this is a unique moment in history is pure egotistical garbage."
Nectar Social's co-founders Misbah and Farah Uraizee are relocating their AI startup from Seattle to Palo Alto to embrace the higher pace of Silicon Valley. Misbah emphasized the urgency to dominate the current technological landscape, highlighting that teams in the Valley often work excessively to seize market opportunities. This move has sparked mixed reactions, with many Seattle locals expressing discontent towards tech culture, its demanding work expectations, and a preference for a more laid-back lifestyle associated with their city.
