Curious how many of you live outside of Austin but commute to work within the city? Or if you’re fully remote.

Live in round rock only 20 min to downtown on the tollway. Good mix of being near Austin food and events but not dealing with homeless folks, which is why i moved out of downtown. Fully remote but have an office downtown if i need to get away. Got a brand new build and large house , all the Austin downtown houses are super old remodels or a tiny luxury apartment

Absolutely breathtaking! The drive down 620 into Bee Caves is an experience by itself. I graduated from St. Stephen’s off of 360. I love it out there, just can’t afford it. Maybe one day. Definitely a goal.

Hello Fishes,

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Today I had my 2nd round interview with EY GDS and got rejected.
Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?

Please provide your valuable inputs.

How do people focus in the office? I'm a first year and I've been mostly wfh since I started and I'm super productive at home - my setup is comfortable, I rarely get interrupted, and I feel like I can stay really focused in my home office.

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?
