What are some of the major employers in the Austin Texas area?


I'm moving to the area this summer, and looking for a good company to start out entry level but want a large enough company where there are advancement opportunities and benefits such as 401k and health. Thanks

P.S Which is more humid, Austin or Dallas? Thanks

Austin is a small town growing up to be a larger town. Great place to live as I graduated at UT austin and worked at Motorola when they still had their semiconductor section. BUT it doesn't offer the same variety of jobs compared to larger cities like Dallas or Houston.

As a mechanical engineer I was limited to the things I could do in Austin. Sure there are a ton of jobs but not compared to the oil/gas companies in Houston. There is a reason 90% of the people I graduated with either got laid off or left to find a higher paying job else where.

Don't get me wrong. If I could do my job in Austin and move my parents/in-laws I'd do it in a heart beat.

Dell, Samsung, AMD, University of Texas, Chase, (actually there are lots of banks there), IRS regional center, sporting goods stores ($60 million in sales per year) and other lots of tech companies.

Most of the jobs with benefits are not music related. There are many jobs with benefits, but the tech companies make Austin the Silicon Valley of the West.

Austin is very dry and rarely humid. Houston is very humid, but I haven't been to Dallas.

Well, AMD and Dell are major companies in Austin.

P.S Dallas is more humid, but Austin can also be humid.
