Moving from Bay area to Austin

[Viral Patel]

Hi All,

I am a software engineer in San Jose and planning to move to Austin for saving on taxes. I was wondering if someone has done that on BP forums and What is the experience like moving from CA/NYC to Austin?.  I know TX is no state tax but on with my research only house is cheap rest everything is with par bay area price. I do have a primary house in San Jose and planning to keep it for now.

I m trying to find out information about salary reduction, career growth, what is a miss from CA?

Thanks for your input

Hi @Jordan Moorhead and @Ryan Kelly, thanks for replying. I was looking into financially... I would have to take a salary cut when I move here which will get offset with taxes.. I just briefly looking job posting for Software Engineers and it seems to have hardly a few positions and assuming such a huge pool of talent moving here... competition would be high as well :).
