Hey everyone my name is Peter and I am from Hartford CT. I am in much need of a change and have spent alot of time researching cities to live and the two cities that seem like the best fit for me are Austin and Fort Worth. The job market is tough in CT and would like to move somewhere where I have more job prospects (ALSO LOVE HOT SUMMERS WHICH TEXAS IS KNOWN FOR) About myself I am 27 years old and I have a bachelors degree in marketing and have 7 years sales experience (Cell Phones, Automobiles, and Appliances) I would like to find a job in those types of fields. So here are my questions?

1. Which city has a better job market Austin or Fort Worth?? I have been reading that Austin’s job market is very competitive due to many college students with social connections.

2. Which city has better Traffic?


3. Although I love a hot summer which city is less humid in the summer time?


4. Being 27 and single which city offers a better singles scene and which city has better nightlife? How does Sundance and West 7th compare to 6th street and the warehouse district?

5. To live in down town which city has a better cost of Living? And how Much is a studio in Down Town Austin.

6. Which city has friendlier residents? Meaning is both cities accepting of northerners? Which city has friendlier Ladies as well


Also posted in Fort Worth Forum as well Thank you for responses and God Bless!!

Fort worth has less traffic. Costs less to live. Up and coming, but not where Austin is for social life. Hot in both places. A bit colder winter in FW. Friendly in both.

Can't say with certainty which might be better for jobs for you.

Fort Worth

Austin

Fort Worth is one of the most conservative large cities in Texas. Austin is much more liberal and has a better nightlife and single scene.

I would focus on finding a job in either city and go from there. Do you have any friends, relatives or other connections to either city?

I am sure you can find a job selling appliances or phones here, but the money will probably be tight especially if you want to rent an apartment by yourself.
