Clickbait aside, the perks are just getting out of hand in the Valley. In the past, NY was seen as a bad place for a tech start up because it was very expensive to outbid the banks for engineering talent. Since 2008, this is less so the case, but I'd still think twice about trying to poach a coder from a Hedge Fund. What had been said for NY, now seems to have good relavence for the Valley. The big shops just pay so much in salary and give so much in perks, it's becoming very hard to recruit talent to the low wage/hi risk jobs that start-ups offer.<p>So where does that leave us? Where's the best place to start a biz these days with most compelling combination of easy access to both talent and funding?
