Recruiting Leader jobs in Austin

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.

No. Don't move. Austin is just a bunch of hillbillies

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...

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.

Is any other company paying Bay area wage outside Bay area?

You're in recruiting and don't know this??
