I'm looking to make a fresh start. Which is a better city for a recently divorced, 42-year-old man? Austin or San Antonio?

I think this person was saying you’ll have more competition in Austin’s dating scene. As a woman, that’s how I interpreted it!

It depends. Cost of living is much higher in Austin than San Antonio. But if your political views are left of center, you’ll be happier in Austin. I’m 47F, divorced and in San Antonio. Politically I’d fit better in Austin, but I’m happy enough in San Antonio. My daughter is in an amazing school district and there’s plenty of family stuff to do.

Austin.

Austin for sure

If you have kids? SA.

Expenses are better in SA but the social scene is better in Austin

That being said, it’s not like you can’t find a decent social scene in SA, and there’s plenty of expensive areas in SA 😂

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.
