Alex Kantrowitz / Big Technology : Tweets: @cristobalyoung5 , @dalmaer , @kantrowitz , @margaretomara , @kantrowitz , @garrytan , and @kantrowitz Tweets: Cristobal Young / @cristobalyoung5 : New @LinkedIn data shows tech workers leaving SF and NYC in large numbers in 2020. Where did they go? Warm, low-tax places like Miami or Austin? Nope. (1) Madison (2) Cleveland (3) Sacramento https://bigtechnology.substack.com/ ... Dion Almaer / @dalmaer : “The country's biggest tech migration increase took place in Madison. The city was gaining 1.02 tech workers for each one that left last year, and it's now gaining 1.77, a 74% jump.” /cc @maxlynch https://bigtechnology.substack.com/ ... Alex Kantrowitz / @kantrowitz : The Austin surge that wasn't. Plus booming Seattle, miraculous Madison, and sluggish San Francisco. @BigTechnology on @ozm: https://onezero.medium.com/... Margaret O'Mara / @margaretomara : Great stuff/scoop by @Kantrowitz. Gets me thinking: 1) how much of this is about housing 2) don't go mistaking the proclamations of wealthy ppl with a platform for an industry-wide trend & 3) further proof that Austin was popping wayyy before Covid. https://bigtechnology.substack.com/ ... Alex Kantrowitz / @kantrowitz : This week on @BigTechnology: I got the LinkedIn data on where tech workers are ~actually~ moving this year. Time to shelve the Austin, Miami narratives. Less buzzy cities Sacramento, Madison, and Richmond are real beneficiaries. Full breakdown here: https://bigtechnology.substack.com/ ... Garry Tan / @garrytan : Where Tech Workers Are Moving: New LinkedIn Data vs. the Narrative by @Kantrowitz Madison, Richmond and Sacramento. These places don't get much play in the news, but they're the real winners. Sorry Austin and Miami. https://bigtechnology.substack.com/ ... Alex Kantrowitz / @kantrowitz : Tech migration to Austin has slowed down this year. The city was gaining more than two tech workers for each one that left last year, now only 1.84 https://bigtechnology.substack.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
