My company wants me to relocate to Austin, TX. They're offering a salary of $89,000, this is a good salary for Texas right? I can afford a small two or three bedroom condo with this?

Beyond salary and cost of living, Texas politicians are stripping away human rights, so I would think twice about establishing roots in such a place, especially if you are a woman who needs medical care.

Good salary for the rest of Texas, maybe. For Austin? No.
If you're single, you might be comfortable on $89k. If you have family, it gets tight. You'd most likely be renting

Texas is hot garbage, don’t do it especially not at that salary. I’m sorry you’re in this situation.

Nah I wouldn’t relocate anywhere for less than $150k and moving expenses paid, but that’s just me.

To buy? Likely not. Housing in Austin is very expensive

What’s the role? If you’re single, yes. If you have a family, this will be tight on budget. Just live within your means.

Where are you currently and what are you making? Are you single and can you just go for a one bedroom apt? Is it actually a really good career opportunity?

Where are you currently in your career? What’s the career advancement personifies with the relocation ?

As someone that lives close to New Braunfels, I wouldn’t live close me to Austin for anything less than $150K

What do you folks think about a monthly show and tell of anything data-related?
Open forum where anything relating to data & its applications would be fair game. E.g.:

-a visualization you made and/or like
-data pipelines for a personal website
-market analysis
-relevant memes
-scientific article
-data news
-what you'd like to see data driven but isn't

In a nutshell, a conversational experience. Introduce and discuss ideas. BYOB and at least 1 talking point, or if you really want a full deck
