LOL Sunnyvale sux
Sunnvvale for career options/growth. Austin for wlb and stress free life and better/bigger houses
Sunnyvale or mannyvale sucks. Boring and sleepy on weekends and expensive compared to Austin.
Yoe?

Personally I would slit my wrists if I lived in Sunnyvale in my 20s. For work it's certainly better to be in the Bay Area though.
Do not move to Austin. Your QOL will take a hit as you have to drive everywhere and the traffic and the airport are abysmal. You will end up buying a place in remote suburbs and driving around is dangerous. Plus if you are brown expect to see micro aggressions especially in areas like Leander , liberty hill , hutto etc
Thanks for sharing. Now I'm more confused. I know Sunnyvale will be more expensive with more taxes and Austin has above issues you shared.
This is all wrong. Austin airport is dope and it’s 15 min from downtown and has direct flights to Europe.
There's a lot of places to live that aren't in downtown but are close enough to downtown to not hate your commute. They're not cheap, but they're nice places to live and have things happening there (which is not my understanding of Sunnyvale)
Can you share those neighborhood names?
North up to North loop, east to Springdale or maybe a little further, south to Ben white would all be fine imo
I live in austin and will be moving to Sunnyvale next year. based on my research, For TC only, there’s a 50k differential if you are a renter, and 100k differential is you are a home buyer. So if your 160k is Austin and you rent, you’ll be good in Sunnyvale with 210k. Now if you factor in growth opportunities, it tips toward Sunnyvale. Wlb is mostly the same, sometimes austin is worse because we deal with Californian time. Environment and weather? Sunnyvale hands down. Food? Depends on your taste. Good housing? Austin hands down.
Are you going for internal relocation within Google?
No, I’m hired directly at the Sunnyvale location. But now working remotely until RTO.
Feel free to DM me. I am engineering manager and looking for candidates to team match with.

Austin is a lot cheaper than SF (although housing has shot up through the roof the last couple of years)
