I'm pretty much deadset on moving here in the next 4 to 6 months.

I will be going here in the next few weeks to visit, see the town, scope out a place to live and try to meet with HR reps and drop my resume.

Was wondering if an TechExams folks were living here and could pass on more info.

thanks

    It is where I would go if I was not in Houston. Depending on where you are at, the weather will probably nice till the spring, the summers are humid here. Hope you enjoy it.

    Uhh pretty much all the jobs are northwest, around the intersection of highway 1 and 183. Cisco, IBM, Apple, and Oracle are all in this area. Rackspace and Dell are around I-35, north of 183. There's very little downtown, a few startups and banks etc.

    Just stay away from the east side of I-35 when looking for a place to live. Also pick a place that you can commute without having to take I-35 because its a nightmare.
