Austin is hip and Dallas is conservative.

Austin is a very liberal city, especially for Texas. Dallas proper is also liberal. The further you go out to the suburbs from Dallas the more conservative people get. Both are great cities!

I’m negotiating my salary, and I’m curious what a reporter/digital editorial lead makes at your company? I have 15+ years of experience in employee communications and TV news, and I live in the Seattle area. I think I’m being shortchanged bc I’m asked to do some of my previous manager’s responsibilities (he was promoted), but I’m paid as a reporter. I report to my director who reports to our SVP, and I’ve worked for this Fortune 20 company for 10 yrs. Any info would be helpful. Thank you!
