Maybe they should try applying in the east coast. There is no AI, cloud or startups here.

You will have to stomach finance or the military industrial complex though.

plenty of other tech in NYC too. ISPs, all sorts of F500 orgs (not just finance), etc.

The rents are no joke, but if I had to be out of a job and in tech, NYC or SF would be top picks (maybe Denver, Austin, DC, or RDU after that).
