What should an Aggie grad consider first when moving from College Station to Austin?

Quick answer

Start with the exact job location and office schedule, then choose the Austin area that best fits the lifestyle you want. For central jobs, Grant commonly compares SoCo, South Lamar, Downtown, Mueller and Riverside. For North Austin jobs, The Domain, Hyde Park and Mueller become more important. Austin commute quality can change dramatically by direction and time of day, so test the real route before falling in love with a building.
