If your employer fires this engineer after a year, how many other potential employers would he have as options in Austin? When I think about relocating to a new place, the "what about the job after this one?" question is something foremost on my mind.
- SwellJoe 16y agoThe number of tech employers in Austin is extremely high for any non-silicon valley location. Sun, IBM, Google, Intel, Dell, Motorola, Apple, Cisco, etc. all have offices in, or very close to, Austin. It's not as many as in the valley, but it's not crazy for a nerd to move to Austin, even if the job that takes them there is fleeting. But, I'd rather Austin stays just the way it is: just big enough to be exciting and just small enough to be friendly, affordable, and not cramped. So, don't move to Austin. It's terrible there. There are no jobs, no nerds, and the women are ugly and mean.
