robertocarter+FollowWhy Oracle’s flashy Nashville HQ isn’t filling upOracle’s $1.2 billion bet on Nashville—complete with a 2-million-square-foot office and a Nobu restaurant—hasn’t sparked the tech worker migration the company hoped for. Despite big incentives and promises of high-paying jobs, only about 800 employees have signed on in Nashville, far short of the 8,500 goal. Many are hesitant, citing concerns over lower salary bands compared to California and the fact that the new HQ is still more vision than reality. With so much investment and city support on the line, what would actually convince tech talent to make the move? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Nashville00Share
