It's been some time ago but last time I went to the web and used one of the comparison calculators for Austin and Dallas I could take a 25% pay cut to live at same standards in Dallas. Austin is historically an overeducated, underpaid economy. Austin promotes the hill country to our west to keep real estate costs high and there are too many colleges and graduating students that tend to stay in the area driving the wages down. Add to that the fact that the IT industry is stale here and not many jobs available.
