Philly is a city built on financial services, higher ed, medicine, and pharma. Tech isn’t a big thing here. It’s part of why it’s avoided the cost of living disaster that has occured in every market where highly paid workers are abundant, such as the bay area, seattle, austin, new york, etc. Tech workers are like the biblical plague of locusts from exodus, destroying everything in their wake.
