As someone who grew up in San Antonio, I highly recommend Austin

San Antonio is an amazing place.

What kind of atmosphere & experience are you wanting?

Are kids on the horizon? And what kinds of property do you want? Lots of great options here. And do know (well) a few top notch realtors who specialize in certain parts of town.
AMA

I grew up in Alamo Heights and my whole family still lives there, couldn't recommend more!

Alamo Heights is great for access and very pretty area. Cute smaller houses all the way up to mansions, and near the airport, shops, restaurants, museums, and the zoo. It is a bit insulated from some of the rest of town. San Antonio is a majority minority city (one of the first in the country to become so), but AH is very white. Not sharing this to be negative, just something that could be relevant depending on why you’re moving to SA.

The Pearl complex is not far from AH and there are housing options around there that aren’t quite in the heights but still provide lots of access. South town is an up-and-coming area with smaller shops and restaurants but lots of newer housing / town house options. Finally, I just had a friend move to St Paul Square, very close to downtown. The area seems grungy but I also think is up-and-coming and has some great bars.

why are you moving? are you getting a job at Frost or USAA?

Stone oak also has plenty of affordable first time homes all the way up to multimillion dollar properties. While it’s mostly a family area and traffic can be an issue, crime is very low.

Do you share details about raises/bonuses/other financial gains with friends or do you keep it to yourself? I have a few friends who will tell me everything from how much money they make to how much their husband spent on them for their bdays to how much their parents make?? To me that feels like bragging/being arrogant. It’s also the way they say it, feels very much like seeking validation to me.

To those with an anxious attachment style and have trust issues due to past childhood trauma you’re still healing from: How do you keep yourself from thinking your significant other is going to cheat on you when she/he goes to a party or out while you’re miles away? I’ve been in therapy to help, and trying to distract myself but my anxiety is keeping it from working and don’t want to put that pressure on him because I’m trying to work on it.

Been with my GF since college and we recently hit the 4 year mark. 1-2 years into our relationship I found out she had instances of micro-cheating (flirting with guys, talking to ex’s etc - but nothing physical) and we addressed it. To her credit and my knowledge, she’s been apologetic and great at respecting boundaries since, but I still feel the pain from her actions years ago (and have talked to her about it). Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.
