If you are looking to work in startups, not sure Austin is the right choice. Look at the top cities by VC dollar raised, and Austin has lagged quite a bit over the last 10 yrs. Of course, SF and SV are top 2, followed by NYC which is a distant second. Boston is 3rd, Seattle 4th, and LA area 5th. If you think about unicorns and decacorns over the last decade, I know there are 1 or 2 Austin startups, but it is a far cry from Bay Area or NYC, which has household name startups.
