What are some interesting tech companies in Austin. Going to start applying here soon and I'm looking for interesting companies. TC 150 (I'm fine with my TC dropping)
Dropbox, Amazon, Google, FB, LinkedIn
No Linkedin and FB does not have a lot of engineer here.
I think GM has a presence there now. May not be "cool" though.
Yea not exciting. HC has some cool companies, but at TC above 150, it's the usual suspects and maybe solarwind, amd (good luck), intel and a few comms (boring)
Comms?
Apple Austin.
Wikibuy (part of Capital One)
Indeed
YOE?
3 professional, but I've been writing code since 14 so 🤷

What are your TC expectations? If you are looking for north of 150, few options.
No I'm fine with my TC dropping, but it'll probably have to stay in the 6 figures
Yea that's the rub. If you would go to the 90's, almost every cool companies all over will hire you asap. Once you get into the 125 range, at least half of the companies will dry up. Past that, it gets slim. 100-125 range I think you still live great and can save great while having a fair amount of options.
