I'm from Houston and can confirm the humidity. Dallas is very pretentious and Houston is more accepting of diversity. Consider these very accurate judgment maps of Dallas: http://judgmentalmaps.com/post/93214491560/dallas and Houston: http://judgmentalmaps.com/image/91260959870

As someone who was born and raised and Dallas and will never move back. I implore you to reconsider. The city has no culture, awful segregation, and is the most pretentious place in the country outside LA, SF and NYC. If you really want to live in the South, I'd recommend Atlanta.

I've lived in Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas. Anyone who tells you to choose Houston over Dallas likely has not lived in both.

Dallas is amazing. Don't listen to the nay sayers.

Houston > Dallas; I've lived in both and biggest differences are: Houston is more diverse (for food, people, and activities), and Dallas people tend to have more attitude & are more materialistic.. So much more fun going out in Houston vs Dallas not dealing with such entitled attitudes

Yeah cause most of Houston is Mexican and black. Dallas has a better mix of all races.

Definitely more humid in Houston but I wouldn't describe it as unbearable. Both are incredibly hot during the summer

Ugh, just got rejected from a senior level big tech opportunity. 4 month hiring process, multiple rescheduled interview days and no-shows, 10+ interviews in the end, multiple take home assessments, and took 2 days off work for the final round of interviews. Very frustrating and feel like they wasted my time in the end. Just a shambolic interview process in which I felt like a placeholder till they found who they really wanted.
