The flywheel effect powering the next wave of New York tech leaders
Here’s one way to become a leader in New York City’s tech world: get hired in consulting, jump to the fastest-growing local company and lead an impactful new team there. Or join the founders of an out-of-town startup in a sector you adore, learn as much as you can about scaling, and when the moment is right, move back to the city to take your own big swing. Maybe seek out the most innovative team at an established bank and become an expert on payments tech. Another option: Climb the ladder at the fourth most valuable tech company in the country until you run its largest fulfillment center in the world.
