Coming from Austin. Can’t stand this place and really hoping my wife lands the job there. Sounds wonderful.

There will be frustrating things in the transition for sure, but I much prefer Pittsburgh

How about weather compared to Austin?

Personally, I don't like Austin's heat. I also don't mind the gloom in Pittsburgh at all and enjoy when it's cold, so for me it's no contest

I hate the heat so I’m excited for cooler weather. Spring and summer were all above the 100’s with intense humidity this year. It was really depressing just going from one building into the next and not being able to go outside really.

Could be worse at least your not in Houston!

The food is better in Houston though! Plus they have museums. Austin doesn’t have much but bars and I don’t drink.

I’ve been to Houston and I wasn’t impressed by the food. There was a big emphasis on quantity over quality. It wasn’t bad but I was hoping for better creole and bbq. The brisket sandwich at Bucees was probably the best meal I had in Houston. There was a good pierogi restaurant which was a surprise. I was mostly on the east side of the city which is an industrial wasteland of oil refineries but Galveston island was a cool mini New Orleans and the Johnson space center is super cool. I didn’t make it to any of the museums but I wanted to. What kind of food do you like?

They have better Asian food there and Indian. Everything is tacos here and the hot sauce is just way too spicy with no flavor. Not a fan of Texas BBQ it’s too sweet and smoky. I like a more vinegar based BBQ so like Kansas City style.

I really enjoy Asian, Ethiopian, Indian and a good burger and seafood. I’m not super picky at all to be honest.
