I'm actually native of Houston, but my girlfriend's folks live up in Round Rock, TX, just outside of Austin. Austin is a unique city, no doubt. I've spent many weekends up there and it's always a lot of fun-- the best food you'll ever have in my opinion. Especially the food truck scene! If you love craft beer, you're welcomed with open arms. The city itself is very active and lots of people love being outdoors/staying active. Cost of living is very reasonable, and that's a good thing. No state income tax! As far as tech jobs are concerned, you'll find that you will make a pretty good living. All in all, I think Austin is a great place to live, and I plan on moving up there myself in the next couple of years. You'll find lots to be happy about and proud of in Austin!
