There might still be a good job market for web designers, but overall it doesn't have the infrastructure to support the mass influx of new residents over the last several years. And there's way too many hipsters. Eeeew. Liberals, overcrowding - sounds like the formula for a light rail mass transit system. I wonder if they're talking about it? Not too many hipsters in suburbs like Round Rock I assume? Edited August 4, 2016 by tesuji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tesuji Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Boise comes up in those best places lists too, but maybe it's too small All the places I have listing are smaller cities that have a lot of tech jobs. But yeah telecommuting would let you live anywhere. Flexjjobs.com looked like maybe a decent place to find remote jobs Edited August 4, 2016 by tesuji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in Portland recently, and our impression was that they like dogs more than children. We have one dog and five children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you aren't one of those punks who grows a mohawk and then tries to say they were punk before punk was punk. They were punk before Johnny Rotten was.

tesuji Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 The other thing about Portland is that I don't think it's very affordable. I haven't been there for many years though. I went to high school in the suburb of Beaverton and really liked it then. mordorbund 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus there is big companies in bavaria and munich is quite a hubub in terms of fashion and anything that needs promoting. There is alos a powerhouse industry in Badenwürtemberg. If you desire to work you could start a business and see with whatever you like to do with a free limit on what you can earn before it get taxed. As for meical benefits, you can insure yourself and your spouse for 150 bucks a month under certain conditions but kids till 18 are always under the umbrella of the insurance of their parents and covered. retirement should be done privately but then again here is conservative products that yield. In the US you should look toward Edward Jones. They do a fine job. If I moved to Germany I would think about living in Rheinfelden, but work just over the border in Basel, Switzerland. Wages are much higher in Switzerland, but cost of living in less in Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's been talk of an Austin-to-SA rail system (great idea), but I haven't heard anything about an internal rail for Austin. And there's not much of anything in Round Rock, IIRC.

classylady Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 If I had to move I would probably look for a place close to some family members. What keeps me here in Utah is my family. My husband and I have thought of moving over the years but we were never able to cut our ties with family.

Edit: I was in Rheinfelden, Germany in December visiting a dear friend. Her son also lives in Rheinfelden but works in Basel Switzerland. He makes a much higher wage than what he could get in Germany. From what they were saying, it's even hard for a German to find work in Switzerland. They also talked about the mind-set of most workers in Germany. They claimed that here in the US many people are more open to wanting to go into business for themselves or explore MLM's. In Germany the worker wants to find a company to work for and have their job for life and retirement guaranteed rather than taking a risk.
