Hi!! I’m moving from NYC to Texas next month for work. My office is in Plano, and I’d like to live within a 15–30 minute drive.

I’m in my early 20s and looking for a neighborhood with young professionals and access to activities like indoor rock climbing, dance classes, art, or hiking trails.

I’d love any recommendations on neighborhoods or areas to check out. Thanks!!

In your early 20s, do not optimize for proximity to Plano. Moving from New York to DFW is going to be difficult enough in terms of social life; no need to make it worse by living in the suburbs.

Try Uptown, Victory Park, Knox/Henderson, Lower Greenville, West Village. On the north end of that might help with commute.

💯

Legacy west area is nice too

Addison is even even worse (used to be fun 10-20 yrs ago), and you need a car in Texas no matter where you are lol

Now the down side is legacy west us pricy

My tip, find an Airbnb for a few months before you settle. I’d recommend the Katy trail area, uptown, oaklawn, some areas around there but that commute will be a bitch. Get an Airbnb down there, see if you like it while searching other areas.

This feels like unfair practice. Is it common? What should be my approach?

Hi all,

I had two technical rounds in tcs last month and now I have got the offer letter from tcs.

But I found one thing unusual that I did not have any salary negotiation call neither any hr round.

They released offer letter directly on ibegin portal with 60% hike on my current ctc .

Should I consider this as a fake recruitement.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks

Hey Dallas folks!

I want to get to know the local private companies. I worked at a private company with 2-3k employees before my MBA. They had an amazing culture, but limited progression opportunities. I'm thinking about looking for a smaller company (couple hundred to couple thousand employees) in the Dallas area and looking to find an amazing culture.
