Curious to hear from those who live and work in Austin in the Tech world (startup or public). Where did you move from? Do you like it? Is there a strong industry there to have options? Have family there and may consider moving from Seattle and Amazon to Austin and would require a great role in recruiting leadership to make sense financially. Long time Amazonian and looking for a change, would love some tips on companies and the location in general.
Yea stay away.
Did an exec search years ago for an EIR /CXO and no one from either coasts wanted to go to Texas at all. Pharma industry...
I’m in the Tech industry, Austin is a growing tech hub
Austin sucks. Hot 8 months a year and stupid Republicans run the state. Screw them. I'll stay in the Bay.
I am planning to move to Austin. It is a growing tech hub. Austin is liberal and open but surrounded by Texas.
Do Apple, Google, FB pay standard wage in Austin or is it a lower band? I’m assuming they aren’t paying Bay wages there.
No. Don't move. Austin is just a bunch of hillbillies
