Hi, I am a new immigrant who is professional in technical sales of industrial components and my background is Electrical engineering. I have just moved from Egypt few months ago to Mississippi as we had family there.

My wife is an Egyptian US citizen who had experience in admin jobs with foriegn embassies in Cairo and my son is 20 months old.

We are not able to find jobs allover the US from our place and decided to relocate to Texas.

We love Austin weather, hills, young ppl, diversity, nature, safety but at the same time we are afraid to find less jobs and opportunities specially for me in Austin when it is compared to Houston.
I hate the humidity in Houston and the horrible traffic. I also feel it is uncomfortably huge to the extent I may need to relocate again inside Houston if I found a job in a far area from my new place. But I think that opportunities there could be better for jobs.
I hope I can get advices and correction if I am wrong

Austin's traffic is no better, and by some measures is slightly worse.

I'd say apply to jobs and go where you get the best offer.
