Isabel Busquets: 我认为奥斯汀作为科技中心的吸引力正在减退。首先,许多公司要求远程员工返回办公室,迫使他们回到公司总部所在的城市。其次,科技行业的裁员潮使得在奥斯汀失业的员工发现,旧金山或纽约有更多的工作机会,尤其是在人工智能领域。此外,奥斯汀的人口激增导致生活成本上升,基础设施面临压力,这使得原本追求更好生活质量的人们感到失望。虽然并非所有人都离开奥斯汀,但那些有远大抱负、渴望在人工智能或科技领域有所作为的人,更倾向于回到硅谷。而那些更看重生活质量和较低生活成本的人,可能会选择留在奥斯汀或搬到附近的郊区或城市。总的来说,奥斯汀的科技景象可能被过度宣传了,人们正在重新评估其价值。 Isabel Busquets: 我还想补充一点,硅谷在网络和学习机会方面是无与伦比的。在奥斯汀,科技活动的质量不如硅谷,参与者更多是渴望进入科技行业,而不是真正从事科技行业的人。此外,我们还看到一些公司离开了奥斯汀,比如Oracle搬到了纳什维尔。虽然特斯拉和HPE等公司仍然留在奥斯汀,但许多公司已经裁员,导致大量员工寻找新的机会。所以,综合来看,多种因素导致了奥斯汀科技中心地位的下降。
