We’re considering whether moving from Austin, TX, to Seattle, WA, would be worth it for our family. Here’s the context:
We are both software engineers living in Austin TX. We have a three month old infant. We own a property near Austin. We have been in this area for a few years now, and it’s been nice!
However, we are considering the possibility of moving because Seattle offers a more mature tech market, higher compensation potential, proximity to top tech companies, and more opportunities to grow in our careers. We do not see the same potential here in Austin.
Our priorities also include living in a safe, family-friendly area, access to strong STEM education and career opportunities for our child, and options for bilingual education.
Is it worth moving to Seattle for better tech opportunities and compensation, even if it means higher expenses and giving up the stability we currently enjoy in Austin? We’d love to hear from others who have faced a similar decision or have experience with life in either city.
