Possible Life Changing Move
All,
I have an opportunity to change jobs and move to the Chapel Hill, NC area. This would me a move of the entire family. Are there any members in the area and what can you tell me, pros and cons?
Thanks in advance.

Great area. I live over in Cary. Best move we made.
Educated people in triangle area as there engineering, tech, medicine employers. There is great mix of cultures as well and it continues to grow. I have been to Durham and Raleigh periodically. Chapel Hill - I have heard great things. Maybe a local can answer more. Plus VIR is 70min away.

Moving out of the SF Bay Area to the Austin, Texas region was the best financial move I've made, as well as overall quality of life. If you are moving out of a "rat race" lifestyle, the Raleigh-Durham area seems to be a pretty great place to achieve a better work-life balance.

However, if you're ever canoeing and hear banjo music.. paddle faster!

And everyone in the family is unanimous about how good it was for us.

Do it! 35 years ago my new bride and I moved from upstate NY to Raleigh, without jobs or knowing a soul. Hardest thing I'd ever done, but after 3 months we knew we'd done the right thing! After 6 years we moved to SC to start a business, but we were sorry to leave Raleigh. The triangle area continues to boom, with great quality of life. I love SC, but wouldn't dissuade anyone from NC either. Even if you move there, and the job isn't working out, there's tons of other opportunities.

Check out San Antonio also, we have a LOT of tech here also, and WAY better roads! Austin traffic is a nightmare! I live about halfway between the two cities, so I can work in either place.

That said, I've spent a LOT of time stuck on 1604 or 410 at the end of the business day. In fact, my favorite way to get home from a day with customers in San Antonio is to drive up 281 to Marble Falls then east on 1431, as I live north of Austin. Avoiding 410, 1604, 35, and downtown Austin traffic.

South Austin or maybe north San Antonio is the place. Close to COTA and Harris Hill Raceway.
