During the course of this year, New York City has been on a campaign of sorts to champion itself as a place where the country's burgeoning tech industry can both incubate and grow itself. The city has, for the most part, succeeded in this initiative with many tech industry giants like Facebook and Tumblr setting up shop in the city. The city has also promoted the creation of the Cornell University's tech campus on Roosevelt Island, thereby ensuring that New York will now be perceived as a strong rival to the current tech industry oasis of Silicon Valley. So if you work in New York’s tech industry in New York, the city sees you as an incredibly valuable part of the city and is pulling out all stops to make sure you stay on in the city.
