Hmm... I read the title of this more as, "How to Land a Job at a Startup (and stay living in the middle of nowhere by working remotely)" rather than, "How to Land a Job at a Startup (and then move to Boston)"
Anyway, I agree it's pretty generic 'blanket' advice - for me, a 32 yr old. Pretty wise words for a college grad, though, whose audience is probably more his underclassmen than me.
