I agree with this statement. I lived in the Twin Cities for a decade and worked for four (4) different companies--the last three of which recruited me away from my then-current position.

As another responder said, the Twin Cities is very tech centric. While there are quite a few enterprise jobs, there are plenty of opportunities across the corporate-size spectrum--from startups (a large startup community exists there) to global Fortune 50 companies.

It truly is analogous to Silicon Valley.
