I moved from SF to Austin last year and have found this to be true.
- joe-mccann 15y agoI don't necessarily agree with this. I used to work at frog design and am now 100% independent (doing consulting/contract work). There are loads of companies from startups like Gowalla and Whaleshark to more established companies like Facebook and BazaarVoice. On top of that, there are some what I would consider "serious" startups with quality founders and funding, like Spacecraft and Mass Relevance.
- bretthoerner 15y agoThis is just proof that "interesting" is very subjective. :)
- joe-mccann 15y agogood point.
- ktsmith 15y agoI was under the impression that the Facebook presence in Austin was a sales office. Do they have engineering there now?
