I'm in the cybersecurity space and we largely shifted hiring and funding to Tel Aviv.
Israeli [0] tech salaries are comparable to Atlanta [1] and Dallas [2], yet we get better talent across the board - less bootcamp grads and more people with a background in OS and algos.

- dzonga 8mo agoyeah Israel tends to be strong in cyber security. However one thing as a founder, I have started to adopt the Israeli playbook - have dev team etc in Israel and sell in the US i.e green card startup you can live in a cheaper location, while benefiting from a larger market that might not be your home market
- spwa4 8mo agoThat's because Israel gets to import "a certain kind of people" from everywhere around the world who are trained. We all know why they leave the places they come from ... Sucks for people born in Israel btw.
- butterbomb 8mo ago> less bootcamp grads and more people with a background in OS and algos. I’m going to wager at least one reason for this is Israel is big in industries that demand that sort of knowledge where in the US, most money was made by CRUD monkeys putting together high level line of business applications.
