As a founder, the author navigates the multitude of opinions and pressures regarding the decision to relocate a business, emphasizing the importance of personal well-being, time zone compatibility, and market access over societal stereotypes or networking opportunities. While San Francisco offers a concentration of tech talent, the author prefers the cultural diversity and affordability of Paris and finds the West Coast's time zone misalignment with Europe a disadvantage. New York's time zone offers a balanced overlap with both Europe and the US West Coast, making it more appealing. Despite the US being a significant market for SaaS, the author believes that Europe's engineering talent provides a competitive edge and that a physical presence in the US is necessary only for building a local sales team.
