How is TX for IT jobs?
How is TX for IT jobs?
I think it depends on skill sets and how in demand those skills are. But as far as I have heard from friends, if you have a decent paying job (50-60K) you can make a modest to good living in some cities (Houston, Dallas) as housing costs are still lower as compared to NY/NJ/ etc.
Re: Texas?
I know someone who moved from TX (about a few years ago)with family to MA and this is how they defined it..
baby food in TX.. 3 jars for $1
baby food in NY/NJ.. 2 jars for $1
baby food in Boston.. 1 jar for $1
you do the math :-D
I have been told that salary range in TX is lower than in NY/NJ area but housing cost is also lower so someone in 50-60K can have a better standard of living than the person making same amount in north east.
Re: Texas?
^ yeah but other things can offset the cost of teh baby food.
Ex/ I've seen food is pretty expensive in Mississauga, but rents are much cheaper.
Re: Texas?
Houses are really cheap. The problem is because new houses are cheap too, resale of a house is a major issue. Other than that, this is true that cost of living in TX is pretty low as compared to MA. TX does not have any state tax too.

Re: Texas?
^ Land, lots and lots of land. I like the weather also. Very Pakistan like. Cost of living is very low.
