    I would invite you to consider that tech billionaires value their talent so little that they’d make them move to Texas for a tax break.

      I was asked to relocate to Texas for a position when I was hired. I said no thanks and went to the NYC office instead.

      I know I wasn’t the only one to do this.

      They were trying to hire in Austin and instead only found NYC talent. Tough break for them.
