Austin on pretty much every level (weather, cost of living, diversity, food, music, outdoor activities, higher education, start up scene etc). Only down side is having to take connecting flights (depending on where you are headed) in a job such as ours

Chicago - much diverse and better career switch options for future. Also, great institutes to pursue any educational course here

Saving money is a consideration but primary driver is dedicated/consistent time commitment. Team is stretched too thin to make it through the volume.
