The media called the city finalists for the construction of a new Amazon headquarters
Amazon says little about choosing a city where the company's second headquarters will be located. Journalists conducted their own investigations to help CEO Jeff Bezos make his choice, writes Observer.
Magazine Puget sound business assumes that the headquarters will be located in Boston or Washington, DC. This conclusion was reached by journalists after they discovered that the 18 -seater private plane Bezos Gulftstream G650ER was in Boston shortly before January 20 announced the list of city finalists. After this announcement, the plane landed in Washington.
“This fact does not necessarily indicate the likelihood that the company has chosen one of these cities for its second headquarters, but Bezos’ frequent trips to some of the cities may influence his decision where to locate an office,” the journalists write.
The obtained data on the movement of the aircraft may not display a complete picture of the movements. In addition, information on the purpose of travel, and who was on board is not known.
But according to reports, the Bezos plane was also near such candidate cities as Denver, Dallas, Los Angeles and Newark, New Jersey.
According to the analysis of the career consulting platform Ladders, New York may also be a likely winner. Ladders provide advice to people who want to earn a six-figure salary.

In New York, home to the largest number of technicians. After that, the cities are followed by Washington, DC, Los Angeles, Chicago and Dallas. Boston is also in the top ten.
«Amazon attracts employees with six-figure salaries. Technology is the largest part of the DNA of a company's culture. Therefore, both from a salary point of view and from a technology point of view, New York is a suitable location for a second headquarters,” said the vice president of marketing Ladders Jordan Cardboard.
According to him, Boston and Washington, DC also possess powerful technical talent. This makes the East Coast the most likely place where headquarters will appear.
"For Amazon It makes sense to have an East Coast headquarters to complement the West Coast headquarters in terms of time zones and accessibility to the East Coast areas and Europe,” Carton said.
In addition, if the headquarters is opened in Washington DC, it will be easier for Bezos to travel to the new house he bought last year. Now the house where there are 25 bathrooms is being renovated.
