Earlier this week, New York-based recruiter Paul Daversa wrote a widely read piece for Business Insider entitled: "IT'S TRUE: Top Tech Talent Is Now Leaving Silicon Valley For New York City." Daversa wrote that “for the first time in my 20 years of search, the deal flow and investment lines have begun to blur as NY has become a hot-bed for building great tech companies and leadership talent is migrating to New York.” Daversa added: “More than any time in recent history I am seeing a migration of talented engineering and operating executives leaving the Bay area and other parts of the country to lead NY companies.” Now, Jeff Markowitz, the managing partner for Heidrick & Struggle’s venture capital practice, is calling bullsh*t. offers a different opinion.
