I will defer to other people's judgments on your clarified question -- I am extremely biased towards Austin (I have lived there before and have very fond memories of the city). I will, however, reframe the question and provide a related answer. Visit each place, and figure out which one you enjoy spending time in. Specifically, which place has people you really like to spend time with. As I suggested above, I'm an Austin fan, and it's not even close. YMMV. Once you've narrowed down a place, then you can focus on a job. "Project management" is a very broad category, so finding something that fits it shouldn't be that difficult. That said, if you're implying something (e.g., you want to be a PM for BigCorp or BigBank with job attributes X, Y, and Z), then maybe the place will matter. Personally, I think that's at best premature optimization or at worst the wrong focus. Best of luck... please keep us updated.
