Dallas native here: Uptown is close to downtown, arts districts, bars/ clubs, the best in public transport that we have (which isn’t much- you will require a car), and is where most younger people with money are going. The downside: it’s a bit pricey. Bishop Arts is a great area near restaurants, and if you’re considering the metroplex as a whole, Arlington contains all of the sports but still maintains a neighborhood feel.

If you travel a bunch, consider near the airport. If you expect local, consider the major arteries of transport. If you could put yourself within a quick drive of both a major north-south highway and east-west highway, that could be a boon for optionality. Eg near 30 & 75. Or near the tollway and 30.

Age & family situation make a difference - Eg I didn't look at uptown cause I have a family and that scene is a little younger.

What are you looking for? Access to airport? How much space, do you have kids? Access to downtown?

We live in Richardson. Great access to 75 and 635, but not convenient for the airport (I don't travel for work).

I live in West Plano, in the Shops of Legacy. Great area. Lots of restaurants, services, etc. I’m 25 minutes from DFW and 25 minutes from DAL.

I travelled from DFW for about a year and just lived in Euless. I would probably live in Ft Worth if I moved back.

Awfully long commute to the office from Fort Worth though, even with the tollroad.

Hello Fishes,

I need some advice regarding this situation and what to do. So I work for a company that offers outsourcing services to major investment banks around the world. I have been working for a new client for about six months now and they seem to like my work so far. Recently I saw that they're hiring to get people on their team at my level. My question is, should I talk to my client and try to pursue them to consider me for the role they're hiring for?

Why does the 3% Conference get so much money from agencies & clients when they have a history of showcasing toxic, abusive to female employees underneath them, women in advertising? Every year, people are shocked at who gets featured there. The idea is not just to celebrate women, it’s to celebrate aspirational women. Maybe they ran out of speakers and are dipping down too much. But agencies and clients should take a hard look at who is speaking before giving money.
