Ask HN: How does Austin, TX compare to other tech cities?
Hello Everyone,
I am a developer that worked in a few startups in San Francisco and Mountain View. I then moved to New York for family reasons. But there is one thing that bothers me in the Valley or Manhattan. Housing is very expensive. I have a salary of 90k, but that does not allow me to live in my "dream" house in any of these cities.
I noticed that housing is really cheap in Austin, TX and it makes me want to move there. I was wondering for any of you that moved between a big tech city and Austin, how does Austin compare to the rest.
How are salaries ?
Is there a lot of cool startups ?
How is living in Austin, TX ? Too hot ? Is there a lot of restaurants ?
