A map of Silicon Alley in March 2006. I arrived in NYC 4 months later, and I used this map to hunt potential job openings as I anticipated my arrival.
I was accepted to a comp sci MS program at Columbia at that time, but a few wise people told me I’d learn more if I got a job in tech instead.
Not many of these companies are still independent. Oh nostalgia.
(via The New York Times)
Sadly, this map is exactly why, as a 2005 graduate with a masters in Computer Science, I didn’t even consider looking in NYC for tech jobs. If you rip out all of the media companies (which weren’t interesting to me), what’s left? Delicious and Meetup and PubSub?
