I am also given the week after Xmas off. if my toddlers are sick I can work at home with them. Interviewing w fortune 500 that offers 15 pto days that have to use for sick days too.Strictly in office job 9-5 and dress bus.prof. These bad benefits? Outdated culture?I am a seasoned professional.

Things were fine in DFW when our HHI was in the $200k range 10 years ago. Last year our AGI was just shy of $800k, primarily as a result of both of us hitting RSU vesting cliffs and maxed bonuses. Let’s just say now it’s more fine.
In Texas that’s great. No state income tax means it’s a net positive above $200k or so. You’re not going to be living of mockingbird but most of the suburbs will be perfect.
Don’t forget that Texas gets you with property taxes. Ours were over $16k last year.
