I want to move in a year or two when we start a family but not at the cost of career just yet. Currently in Seattle WA. YOE/TC: 1/140K
Apple has a big tech presence. Indeed, HomeAway and Dell too!
Indeed HQ is in Austin
Apple is adding ~7,000 engineers, amazon is adding a few thousand engineers, Facebook is building a building, google just finished a very large building and bought the property for two more. Austin is looking good if you ask me Indeed has 3 buildings, ibm has ~4000 people here, homeaway has 2 buildings, Charles Schwab has a large campus, Oracle has at least one office space, dell and gm both have a large presence here
Thanks for the detailed reply, this helps a ton. I had no idea apple was so big down there
Yes they have 2 campuses here right now and just announced a 1 billion dollar 3rd one that will have 7,500 engineers and 7,500 non tech ops people. West Parmer lane is going to suck hard in 3 years.
What field? Job market is good down there and I know both apple and amazon have announced plans to expand their footprint. I don’t think Netflix has anything in Austin and I think Facebook is primarily non-tech ops but I could be wrong about that. Plenty of other tech companies that are expanding in Austin as well
Yeah my worry was lots of big names in Austin but just as data warehouse / ops positions
There are tons of engineering positions in Austin; both amazon and apple doa decent amount of software engineering and in apples case HW engineering out of Austin. Not to mention Indeed, Cisco, IBM, Homeaway, etc have significant presence in Austin
