Thinking About Moving From St. Pete/Tampa to Austin

Good move or bad move?
I moved down here a year and a half ago to take an internship with the Rays. Once the internship ended I decided to stay because Tampa winter is more bearable than Baton Rouge winter. The career field I am in now is a pain in the arse and I hate it. I am single and in my mid 20s. Figure now might be the perfect time to try something new.

Sounds like youve already made your mind up. Go for it before you lay down roots.

Go for it.

You want to trade the bay, the beaches, the sand and very mild winters for Austin? Enjoy brah

are you a hippy? if so go to Austin

Sounds like it's your job not the geography. No way I'd give up the Tampa Bay area for Austin all things being equal in the job department. But if your miserable where you spend 5 out of 7 days a week and have better options in Austin then do it.

Tampa to Austin? Lol terrible.

I do love the beaches and all that comes with it but I also love live music and country music at that. Oh and all that talk about the hippies in Austin...St. Pete(Where I actually live) has just as many hippies/hipsters.

I'd do it. Babe to male ratio here is like 6 to 1. It's a free for all

As much as I would normally say "it depends," if you hate what you're doing and Austin presents a new opportunity for you to grow in, while Tampa does not, then it really isn't a question. With no family or other responsibilities holding you to Tampa, go to Austin. I don't think it's all it's cracked up to be, but it certainly presents great opportunities in a growing business environment with tons of what New Orleanians call "culture," but without the bad "culture" they brush under the rug.

Come on, man. If you're not happy in Tampa, then you're not going to be happy ANYWHERE that you live.

Everyone goes to Austin to "find themselves" so good luck finding a job unless you already have one lined up.
It's on the decline since the locals are progressively becoming more and more agitated by the increase of young adults flooding the city.
Still a great town of you're a music lover.

This place sucks. Don't move here.

Don't move here. Move to Dallas. Austin going to be just like Dallas in a few years anyway.

Did you just pick Austin out of an ironic top hat, or do you have a job lined up?
I know it's cool to find yourself in a hip city, but make sure you have a source of income ready to go, or you'll find yourself panhandling on the streets in that hip city.

sounds like my daughter, she went to work for the Cowboys after interning for them while in college, what are you doing now?

I think Austin is great. However, I don't know how it compares to where you are now.

Austin becomes more like Dallas and Dallas more like Austin everyday.

I am currently the Security Manager at a venue down here in Tampa.
I don't currently have anything lined up in Austin but I also don't plan on moving there in 2 weeks. I am looking a little further down the line like in a couple of months. And I was thinking Nashville or Austin. I didn't just pick a city out of a hat...I have been to both and loved both cities very much. Had an amazing time while I was there.
