Interesting stuff. I've got a few buddies working finance in NYC on visas, the're still making good bank. I would guess you're a west coaster though? Just things like being in NJ for a tax break, unlikely. NJ has tons and TONS of people(and taxes), don't let the 'little' town of Edison fool you, it's really still one huge suburb of NY. With a huge population from surrounding areas to pull talent from. Also, believe or not, most middle age people (HB1 peeps too) don't want to have to deal with NYC. Also, there is plenty of B2B and consulting work to be done outside the Oracles and IBM's of the world, don't think the big names do all the work, or even pay the best. Often times the smaller company will pay much much more, as their overhead is often a smaller percentage of revenues.
