Deciding where in California to hang your hoody used to be quite simple: if your career goals even remotely touched on the entertainment industry, you went to Los Angeles. If tech was your thing, San Francisco had your name written all over it. So entrepreneurs, developers, and leagues of other tech workers knew exactly where to go to make it big.

Take a quick journey through our infographic and decide for yourself – where would you rather make your tech dreams come true?
