WAR! New York Startups Poaching West Coast Engineers

As startups multiply and venture funding gushes through the city, the war for talent in New York is getting red hot. Wired.com has a good post on the talent war.

Startups are finding it harder and harder to hire great engineers, as well as great marketers and product managers. They're competing fiercely with each other as well as, as always, big tech companies and big banks, for great tech talent. Even red hot companies like Foursquare can't get enough engineers and are having to open offices in San Francisco to recruit more talent (Facebook poached a Foursquare engineer earlier this year).
