It's absolutely your geography. I lived in a town with very little tech folks, and I was chasing after every lead I could. Moved to a tech hub, and I was turning down offers left and right. I was also speaking at conferences and doing a lot with the tech community - doing hackathons and contributing to open source while I was unemployed.
