If you like Texas and tech, Austin has some faang and tech positions, more than Dallas or Houston

I’m not 100% sure but I think there may be limitation to those as supposed to Dallas. It’s not a bad place to be in overall

Please don’t move to austin

I didn’t report anything, I thought your commentary was fair 😂 it’s a cool town, I can’t blame people for wanting to move here, I would just prefer they didn’t. No hate or reports coming from me though. Apologies for whoever did

Austin is fantastic place to be. A very vibrant start up scene and a very diverse set of companies have offices here. One caveat, Austin is fantastic for mid level positions, very, very tough the higher up you go because except for handful of large companies based here, others all have there HQs elsewhere and satellite offices here.

Check out built in Austin

Am I crazy to take a pay cut to “chase my dream”? Manager looking to leave Bain - I want to do corporate sustainability - I got an offer for a traditional corp strategy job at $195k base, $23k bonus (no longer-term incentives aka no equity / profit sharing), so similar to current comp except for NAP, but am hoping something sustainability-related comes through. Right now in talks for a sustainability director role that would be closer to $160k base / $20k bonus. (More in comments)
