Debate: NYC vs. Bay Area as the hub for frontier tech careers
edgarpavlovsky · x · 2026-08-24
The original post argues NYC has surpassed the Bay Area as the top place to build in tech, citing operations by OpenAI and Anthropic, diverse industries applying AI, and a broad talent pool. A counter-argument asserts that critical teams remain co-located in the Bay Area, while NYC roles skew towards media/sales. It highlights the Bay's higher density of deep tech talent (e.g., microfluidics, DNA origami) and notes that non-technical roles are typically brought in after technical risks are resolved during the growth phase.
