I’m originally from Austin and have lived here most of my life. Socially it’s very gregarious, you can start conversations with random strangers with a simple greeting. I’d also say it’s less class-conscious and material than say, Dallas

This! 100%. Although I think there’s a focus on quantity over quality; most people aren’t from Austin or even Texas so they want to expand their social circles as much as possible. It’s less insular than an established city like SF Chicago or Boston, but I’ve found higher quality friendships in the northeast than I did in ATX. Source: lived 4 years in Austin, 4 years in New York, now living in SF

I feel like super welcoming and friendly (if a little overloaded with newbies)
Generally very good vibes though - lots of outdoor socialising which is great

What’re the various agencies/components’ return to office dates (if announced)? And what’re the remote work policies after that date? I hear DOJ said their individual components will decide when exactly to return between mid-March and early May and some are offering a lot of remote flexibility even after then. Curious to hear more details though, both for specific DOJ components and other agencies!

I have 7 years healthcare sales and 1.5 years as a MLO.
