Moving to Dallas!

[alab21]

I received a firm offer from the IRS. Because of my master's degree, I qualified for GS-9. There's automatic promotion to GS-11 in one year as long as your performance isn't terrible, but you'd probably be fired by that point. I didn't want to move, but Austin doesn't seem to be hiring until August, and I'm not going to turn down a job offer for the slim chance I'll be selected for Austin. The good part is that locality pay is a few thousand higher in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Surprisingly, Houston has the highest locality pay in Texas, but you have to deal with hurricanes and oil refinery air.

Congrats!! I’ve lived in the DFW area for 30 years. We like it here! I like Austin too though, so I do understand your preference. It has a very progressive, eclectic feel to it. I think you’ll like it here once you get settled though.
