It might be harder to break into the Austin market, simply because they can pull the local talent from the universities first. I work for a defense contractor on the West coast and am looking more at DFW. If you don't have your heart set on one or the other, get your resumes out there and see where you start getting bites. Test the waters.

IT/Tech is way too vague a category to generalize about.

If this means system/network/database administration, I would guess Dallas or Houston lead because they have the most companies, large and small, and the most computers and networks that need management.

If this means programming or software development, Austin might be a better bet. Austin is home to many more software companies - companies where software is written to be sold or licensed to others.

But many programming skills are commodoties today. If you are a Java programmer you are one of many. .NET might be a bit more unique.
