I absolutely hate where I live and really want to move to NYC (Manhattan).

I have 1 year of experience as a full stack developer working with React and React Native. Been slowly studying leetcode for about 2 months in-between the stresses of my job. I’m not FAANG good yet but am approaching a level perhaps good enough for some mid-sized to large companies. The current startup I’m working remotely at is failing (i.e. leadership is saying the business could only have a few months left if things don’t turn around), so clock is ticking.

What are some good companies that pay full stack devs a salary I can get an apartment in Manhattan on but aren’t like FAANG level hard to get into?

I'm currently working a FANG internship in CA but don't think I'll be able to transfer the return offer to NYC and would prefer to work there bc I grew up in the area. What are some of the best tech companies with interesting work in NYC?

Curious what some of the biggest most prominent ones are?

I'm actually sick of working from home and am ready to go in office. Figure I should focus my search there since I'll find the least competition.

Hello, I would like to know what is the tech job market like in NYC? (Over 5 years work experience.)

Salary for a full stack developer? (JavaScript proficient.)

Is there a lot of discrimination when hiring? (Race, sex..etc)

What part of NYC would you say most of the tech companies are located in?

Is moving to NYC, Manhattan to be specific, a good idea for a change of scenery? (I will be moving from Phoenix, Arizona.)

I love big cities, lots of people, I am outgoing and have no fear of trying new things and making new friends. I have another 2 and a half full years to prepare and save for this move.

(If there is a specific subreddit I should go to for a more detailed answer please let me know.)

Hey guys,

I've been at Amazon in Seattle for the last few years but I've always been a bigger city person, so I've been thinking about a move to NYC this fall when my lease is up. I get that covid times prob isn't the best time to move to an expensive city, but it's not like my rent is exactly cheap in Seattle.

My question is, how is the tech tech companies in NYC? I'm less interested in fintech mainly because I don't think I'd like to go back to needing to dress up for work or needing to come into work at a specific time. So far, I'm eyeing Google, FB, and Twitter in NYC but obviously that's not a lot of companies and all those interviews can be tough. I know there's a lot of fintech and hedge funds that probably pay well too, but ideally I'd like to work at a tech tech company.

Also on that note, I know NYC perks probably isn't SF but how many of the companies in NYC have free food?

I've also considered SF and potentially LA, but after reading several threads here it seems like NYC would be the best fit for what I want at least in my next move.

Tl;dr: I’ve always wanted to live in NYC but am a little worried about the number of pure tech companies there and setting my career back compared to staying in Seattle or say a SF

Hi guys. I am graduating this May and I've been applying to a bunch of tech companies in NYC (around 100 companies), but I feel as if I applied to most of them. Can you guys give me a list of tech companies to apply for just like the list here: https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/3p2i96/is_there_a_list_of_good_tech_companies_to_intern/.

Any good decent companies out there?

I heard New York and New York City has some opportunities for jobs in tech. How true is this? Is the state still a good place to look for tech jobs?

So I know that NYC is known for the exclusive FinTech algorithm trading firms (HFT, prop shops, hedge funds, etc) but let's set those aside for a second. Which "tech" companies have offices in NYC (whether remote office or the HQ)?

Remote office in NYC

• Facebook

• Snap, Inc.

I'd really appreciate people commenting below and I'll update the list continually.

Looking to potentially change careers - any idea where one would start to learn about tech startups in NYC (like if there's any specific forums, websites, etc). Just looking to find some general information to start!

Hey all, I'm graduating in Spring 2019 and I'm starting to look for new grad opportunities. I'd like to be in NYC but I'm also trying to find a tech company with a culture similar to that in SF (definitely want to avoid banks, for instance). Anyone know companies like this that regularly hire new grads? Or CA-based companies with New York offices, who might put a new grad there?

Would really like to move their after graduation, not too familiar with the tech scene. What are some good tech companies to apply to?

My company is located abroad with a few of us based in New York. We are setting up a WeWork office in Manhattan, but the leadership team chose a location in Times Square / Penn Station (7th & 37th). As someone with local knowledge, I have strongly recommended finding a alternative location downtown that will be more conducive to collaborating with partners, individual networking, and a more enjoyable place for employees to work.

In addition to better food and after-work activities in other neighborhoods (compared to Times Square), I think that working in a building that has more tech companies, FinTechs, and Startups is a better move long-term for the company.

Q: what neighborhoods should I explore for a potential replacement of the Times Square location?

My immediate thoughts are Flatiron, SoHo, and Chelsea. Does "Silicon Alley" still exist? Am I wrong and is Garment District a good spot?

I will also factor-in logistics (access to trains, subways, etc.) and cost, but just for the above factors I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Disclaimer: the current location is actually super easy for me to commute on the 7, but I am dreading a Times Square commute.

I'm trying to move back to NYC after working remotely from another state for three years. I really don't like full time WFH and I would like to be back in an office at least two days a week. It's been surprisingly hard to screen job postings for this because it seems like almost all tech jobs are now listed as hybrid/remote but when you dig deeper they turn out to be remote first and very few people actually go into the office at all. I have talked to a few people at companies with a hybrid option and it sounds like most of them only have a few people in the office at any given time and those people are still on remote-first teams so they're simply doing all their zoom calls from the office rather than from their home. This is what I'm trying to avoid; I miss the collaborative, social office environment that existed pre-pandemic. Even though I'm a software engineer, a stereotypically antisocial profession, I am much happier and more productive when I get to leave my house and spend time with other people every day. I miss in person meetings and whiteboarding sessions and team lunches and after work happy hours.

I'm looking for a tech company with a New York office where people who take the hybrid option actually do go into the office and where there's still some opportunity to collaborate in person. Does this even exist anymore? I feel so disconnected from the New York tech scene after being remote from another state for so long. Hoping someone here can shed some light on the situation.
