Thoughts on Austin? Want to know if 1) I’ll be bored out of my mind coming from a major coastal city 2) planning is valued in the shops there.

Thank you!

I recommend Austin if your looking to slow down or start a family, definitely more of a “town” than city vibe, but is growing quickly

Thanks! I’ll check it out. Could you describe the culture of Austin a bit compared to a larger city? Austin seems rad but I feel like it’d be slower in terms of career and city life. And sorry if this sounds patronizing, but it sounds like most work in Austin is regional and ‘below the line’? Hoping I’m wrong.

I currently have a Cap One Venture card. I have had it for a couple of years now but I am interested in upgrading to a Venture X card.

No promotion has been offered to me to upgrade my existing Venture card to a Venture X card.

Should I wait until that promotion is offered to me? Or would it be dumb to apply for a Venture X card separately and a) hold both cards or b) close out the original Venture card.

Profitability tool “costs” are not transparent, suspect SEP’s high salary is a factor. Anything (other than typical overhead) to ask about?
