oh definitely not, I just meant they had the high paying tech jobs as well. They are not near as focused as sv, I think something like every 350/1000 workers work in IT in sv...
how about suburban dallas cities? I know there is a huge data link going through and cheap data centers there...
I don't know what city it woudl be in, but it is not Austin I am thinking about...
I think you are thinking about Richardson, North Dallas, and Addison area which is generally the same area.
SV is world's tech epicenter b/c of both BigTech co. HQs and interesting start-ups...and, thus, most of world's wealthiest engineers
Rest of towns are just back-offices for tech support or have HQs of some stagnant old tech cos. like Dell or EMC or Microsoft in some suburb but few start-ups of note to suggest any IQ or new wealth creation
Aside from jobs, would argue PaloAlto's climate, topography, proximity to Stanford and decent food make it a uniquely tech-oriented place...engineers tend to prefer to live and work in leafy suburbs, not in cities...and prefer to be near lots of major tech cos.' HQs, VCs and other smart engineers as they think about their next job or start-up
I think most of the tech jobs in Dallas are in Irving. That's why I put it up in the post.
