  I’ve discussed the emergence of Silicon Valley within Texas in the past. But there’s even BIGGER news! Many are saying that, as a tech hub, the Dallas-Fort Worth area has now significantly outshined the San Francisco Bay Area this year with both Silicon Valley and San Francisco slipping in their overall rankings. Companies near the DFW area are taking an especially aggressive turn in hiring out IT professionals. Major companies include: Lockheed Martin JPMorgan Chase USAA Citi Deloitte Verizon Wells Fargo IBM NTT Data InfoVision And more! Things are really picking up now, making Dallas a great place to live and work if you have technology on the brain! There’s no telling just how big this thing could possibly get and I can’t wait to see where it all goes!  I’ve made several blogs in the past discussing how great living in Dallas is. My favorite picks for residential living are the Lure, the newly-renovated Muse, Residence at Midtown, and Sierra Park. These spots have everyth...

Some great news for Houston residents living near the Vintage Park area!  Hewlett Packard, an esteemed hardware company, has recently announced that it plans to move its global headquarters to the Houston area from California, along with expanding its locations in Austin and Plano. Set for completion in the spring of 2022, HPE will be constructing a gigantic 440,000 square-foot campus for its workers, expanding its reach in the quiet suburban area. For Houston residents with a focus on technology and engineering, this will be a huge opportunity for excellent employment advancement.  The current HPE headquarters, stationed near the Vintage Park region, is already a testament to the company’s strong influence in the area. For Houstonians carefully watching this new development, it would be incredibly wise to start making plans to grow more accustomed to learning about the company once job opportunities begin to explode following the end of the pandemic. There are plenty of excel...

  It’s time to embrace the winds of change. Texas has become a shining beacon of diversity, development, and new ideas. And the gradual, but ever-present prominence of major companies has become a key signifier of this. The emergence of big companies like Tesla, Amazon, HP, and Oracle, among others, has shown that Texas is cementing itself as a major player in the world of big corporations, especially within the city of Austin. Yes, it’s true. Austin itself has, in many ways, become the new Silicon Valley. Austin’s young and modern climate has made it a highly attractive spot for companies to scout out ready and eager talent, especially when it comes to technology. And with Texas having major tax advantages, it’s in companies’ best interests to seize the opportunity to save money while having a strong, energetic new workforce.  That’s really what’s so great about Austin--it really has the sense of spirit to take on new challenges and technological goals.
