Born and raised in Austin as well. I left Austin to do my part in making the city less populated and more livable for others. I spent my whole life yelling “don’t move here”. Time to put my money where my mouth was.

I am a unicorn like you (born and raised Austinite). I have moved away from Austin 4 times for work and have ended up back here within 2 years each time. I moved to LA, NYC, DFW area and Raleigh, NC. I currently looking to do it on my own terms and we are looking in the PNW (Seattle, Portland and the surrounding areas) is where we’re focused at the moment. I liked NYC and Raleigh but NYC got too expensive and Raleigh lost a bunch of companies in my preferred industry. LA sucked and I wouldn’t wish DFW on my worst enemy.
