I am a Sr.SE working in the SV. I couldn't buy a house here in the south bay because of the very high prices... So thinking of moving out of the SV. Was thinking of Dallas, TX. But have heard from folks that Texas economy is shrinking and as a result, the tech job market is also shrinking... Is it true?
tech companies in dallas are around irving area (close to airport) and downtown area
d@t_person Can you name few big tech companies in Austin?
I don’t think it’s shrinking but you should investigate the culture and spend some time in Dallas before you commit. It’s really different than where you are now. Edit: Different in almost every dimension possible, I wouldn’t know where to start.
Like what ?
I concur. It’s completely opposites. I would recommend Austin instead. Thriving tech scene. Much more like Bay Area. However, some areas in atx can be pretty expensive relative to elsewhere in Texas but it’s still much better than here in SF/SV
