Houston or Dallas-Fort Worth for starting a career

What would be pros and cons of both? Would still be coming back to LA frequently due to family. Which has a better overall future?

DFW. No hurricanes, no widespread flooding.

Completely dependent on what you do, but a lot more corporate headquarters in Dallas than Houston.
One is much closer to S Louisiana and the other is much closer to N Louisiana.
You worded your question poorly and this will be a pissing match by post 16.

The main question is, would relocating to either be a good move and increase chances for success? Staying in Louisiana just doesn’t sound good for the long haul.

I definitely prefer DFW but Houston seems to have a lot of opportunities as well. Are the two cities a lot alike in that regard?

Where is your family in LA and what industry do you plan on working in?

Family in Lafayette area & Deridder. Industry is energy or possibly the oil & gas industry

I’m considering rolling the dice and just relocating then hope it works out. Being in La isn’t helping my chances at all.

Houston is like 2 hours closer and is more centered around O&G and energy than Dallas is. As I'm sure you know, though, it can be a bumpy ride.

What part of La you from?
Nvm just saw. Looks like Houston is your best bet.

DFW better all around.
Posted on 11/13/18 at 2:05 pm to OKTGR580
I'd def go DFW over Houston

Oil and Gas - Houston
Everything else - DFW
Just stay a baw - La.
That's all you need to know. Good Day.

I suppose you're in some type of field services world. On the design side a big project can take about 4 years to design and permit, thus resilient to fluctuations in the market.

Id love to live there, but there are way less jobs there and it's a much more "connected" town.

I just have oil and gas clients and their Capex definitely isn't immune to fluctuations. You may not get fired, but theres definitely less projects going on. I was looking at some 2015 stuff today and they definitely cut back spending that year.
