Yes! But I wouldn't say ANY company really thinks in terms of "best talent" so much as they think in terms of facilitating management's vision for the company. And that facilitation can have many forms. Putting people in office parks makes them massively more captive to the company. It also makes switching jobs much more fraught. It also selects more for people who value large homes/lots over street life and brings the political mindset one expects with say, Ashburn. Relatedly, it also selects for people who are more likely to be climate change deniers given the carbon inefficiency of the location. Guess who has major contracts in Saudi? NG!

The only factor with measurable reliability in predicting management decisions is how well they serve management. And you have to understand management's interests and inclinations to get what that might be.[/quote]
