I'm curious...seems like the large companies (re: FANG) will have NYC offices but it's for housing engineers and not designers. As a designer the biggest markets seem to be advertising and the growing start up scene. That said, in curious who out of the large companies have design departments in the city.
IBM has a couple out there
facebook and google both have large ux design departments in NYC. Where there are engineering offices for these companies you will typically find design (and product management etc.). It's the offices where there are no engineers where you will rarely find design.
