If you graduated college in the spring of 2025, on the job search, where would you be looking to move to in your ideal world? Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Fort Worth all have their drawbacks, and their pros. Or would you move to a smaller city?

Somewhere, anywhere that would give me the best job in AI. If I didn't know AI, I would consider getting a Masters learning AI, and I'm serious. Yes, the news the past 24-48 hours is everywhere, but I've been saying it for over 2 years.
AI is here and going to overpower pretty much everything.. literally and figuratively.. and imo, the whole world is going to be completely different in 5, 10, 20 years..
Accountant - Obsolete
Lawyer - Obsolete
Doctor - Obsolete
It's actually pretty hard to find a profession that isn't vulnerable to AI. Perhaps nursing or a blue collar type job, or maybe something in the entertainment field.
Therefore, it is my opinion that not working for that purpose might be a complete waste of time. That sounds harsh.. but that's my opinion.
If you don't like that answer, my almost 50 year old self immediately thought a sailboat far, far away from everyone and everything.. with the people I love, living life in it's simplest form.
If you don't like that answer either.. if you like Austin, you should stay/go there now, because once you leave, it's extremely hard to move back because of the extremely inflated cost of living there.. but anywhere in the hill country would be pretty great if you could work close to there.. commuting is for the birds.. I've done it and it sucks.
Did I mention you should persue AI?

I wouldn't move here, Austin was amazing like 25 years ago (Edit make that 35-40 years ago, easy to forget 1990 isn't 25 years ago), it's not that anymore. Houston is ugly as sin, but the job market is good. Dallas is full of young kids driving around in base model BMW's huffing each other's farts and thinking they run the world. All of that on top of the crazy high property taxes. I owe $14,413 property tax this year, on a house appraised at $700,000. I bought the house 5 years ago for $450k

It depends what industry you’re in. It depends where you grew up. Generally,
Dallas - finance
Austin - IT
Houston - Energy
My wife is from Boston and Austin would be the easiest adjustment.

30 years ago Austin today maybe anywhere in the country in Central Tex. Belton is nice and has a ton of retired military in area.

We don’t need anymore careerist trying to pursue AI. The field is over inflated. And I say this as someone with degrees in computer science and mathematics.
