    Coworker landed a job for an extra $30k at a location 5 minutes from his house that guaranteed him carte blanche over the project he was joining. The demand for talent is so fucking high right now.

          Houston is always hiring. I find the 5 minutes from his house a bit sus though. And the his house part.

          The good money in Houston is because you have to live in Houston.

            He's up in Spring and feels like he basically won the lottery. The new firm has a branch office up there.

            Its not even "good money". I could make significantly more out on the coasts. Cost of living in Houston is just way lower than California or New York or Chicago.

            Also, all my family and friends live here.
