☆ Fintech darling Brex is requiring potential engineering hires to be located outside of New York and California. Here's why the startup calls that its 'competitive advantage'

The fintech startup follows companies like Oracle in hiring outside of traditional tech hubs. Instead of limiting its hiring pool to San Francisco, the startup can now tap into qualified candidates anywhere, it said. In a note to employees, Brex CEO Pedro Franceschi said the current economic environment contributed to the decision to lay off workers. Tech workers traditionally concentrated in certain hubs, but research showed remote work helped expand tech talent into many other cities. But besides the cost cutting benefits other companies experience, hiring outside of tech hubs lets go of some traditional talent restraints, Brex said.
