I’m a Sr.Engineer with about 10 years of experience, working at a Fortune 500 company. I currently live in the DFW area. I’m considering moving to Houston to be closer to family. Does anyone know what the tech scene looks like in Houston ? Can I expect to be in the same salary range and comparable opportunities ? Folks from HOU please weigh in. TIA

I moved from Dallas to the Woodlands to be closer to family. I stay the same company and was able to stay fully remote. There really isn’t a tech scene here. If you’re looking for that you’re probably gonna have to go to Austin it’s mostly oil and gas and medical here from what I can tell so far.

He likes to come across as a grandfatherly figure, but I’m not sure what to say in these encounters. It is always an innocent, non work related context. Have you guys experienced this ?
