You can expect to be bored. You can expect to be a target for proselytizing. You can expect to spend a lot of time in your car. You can expect the weather to be nasty more or less all year round. You can expect some good Mexican and tex-mex food. You can expect to be surrounded by conservatives. Expect to feel like you're living in a massive strip mall.

If you're working in Dallas, live in Dallas. If you're working in Fort Worth, count your blessings (relatively speaking. Avoid Arlington at any cost.

Good Mexican is harder to come by in Dallas than in NYC. It. Is. All. Fucking. Tex-mex.

Not my experience, but you're probably right.

I only lived in Arlington (ugh) for 18 months. I did have some nice tortas, though. It was ages ago, so unfortunately I don't remember where.

I don’t know what your skill set is, but my advice is go to Dallas, make the best of it, pad your resume for 6-8 months, and start looking for jobs in NYC again. When you get back here, you’ll feel like you didn’t miss a beat. The city is always changing, but it’s always the same.

Expect to drive I guess? Obviously no other city in this country compares to NYC. Good luck and good riddance to you tech bros. Hopefully that lowers rent here.

Man, there's no need to be rude. He's already feeling bad about leaving and is just looking for some support.
