My wife and I are thinking about making the move to the DFW area from Chicago but I don’t have work lined up yet prior to the move. Super broad/general question but how is the job market in the area? Data from the bureau of labor statistics suggest that it’s growing/grown over the last few years but wanted to gauge from folks in the area on their personal experience

For context, I’m hoping to be in a Data Analyst/Science-related role

I'd definitely wait until the new year. I'm looking to make a jump and have been active in the Dallas area and even with 15 years in the telecom industry, looking in the same industry, it's hard to even get an initial conversation with a recruiter. Given 4th quarter is upon us, when a lot of hiring freezes, I'd just keep looking at what you want to do and where you want to move to specifically. I'm looking for Exec Dir / VP roles, so probably different than your specific role.

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe).

I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

Hey Dallas folks!

I want to get to know the local private companies. I worked at a private company with 2-3k employees before my MBA. They had an amazing culture, but limited progression opportunities. I'm thinking about looking for a smaller company (couple hundred to couple thousand employees) in the Dallas area and looking to find an amazing culture.

Anyone have recommendations on companies with great cultures in the Dallas/north of Dallas areas? (I live in the Plano/Allen/Mckinney area)
