Zaheer from Levels.fyi here. Argo AI & Duolingo are based out of Pittsburgh. Uber & Google also have a decent sized presence. Some more context on their tech scene here: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-pittsburgh-tech/a-tech-bo...

Uber, Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon all are present. What’s clearly wrong or at least misleading about this data is that they represent only a small fraction of the tech workforce in pgh. Other than Uber and Google these are only small offices. They also happen to be some higher paying jobs within those organizations. The reality is that most tech people in Pittsburgh are looking at jobs at UPMC, PNC, NetApp or a handful of smaller companies and poorly funded startups, few of which pay particularly well nor have worthwhile equity comp even relative to the low COL small markets.

This 170k median doesn’t fit with other stats available, and is only true if your sample is limited to FAANG and unicorns, which exists, but is small in Pittsburgh.

Self-driving cars in part due to its proximity to CMU.

Lots of AI & robotics companies, as well as FANG + Msft like companies opening offices here.
