Great Video. I would also put Washington, D.C. near the top of that list. There are a TON of leading cyber and SaaS companies that have regional sales offices selling to the Federal Government. Also, Amazon is opening up HQ2 selling AWS cloud, and newer companies like Palantir have offices here as well. I do agree that Austin is #2. Seems like you get a bit of everything in Texas!
Thank you very much for this video!! You are blessed with a great life if you can just decide to move somewhere and actually be able to do it without issues. Lot of people have family responsibilities that obstructs them from moving. But, to answer your question, right now I am near Raleigh, North Carolina and, when I have the opportunity to move, I am thinking Atlanta, Georgia or Austin, TX!
SF represent!! SF is cool.. for a year or two. So expensive to live in the city though. Crime is pretty high too especially if you live in the downtown. Just had the catalytic converter cut out of my car last month.. NYC is my next move. Austin is a close second.
Went to school in Austin, Texas, graduated in like 3 years early and even though I had no connections, no knowledge of tech (the most from a programming class in my first year), companies were hounding me for sales positions. Heck, even got my first job (not related to SaaS sales) just by showing up to the office in ATX Downtown. Austin is great if you can handle I35, traffic, and nature :P That was back in 2016ish. Could be true today!!
@@TrentDressel since you're in the Dallas area, you're likely missing out on them mountains and hills... just so you know... If you make it to Austin, your calves will get a workout :)
Bay area - one of the highest pay and highest cost of living, great weather, on the coast Austin - no income tax, competitive pay, stupid fucking hot weather Seattle - same thing with Bay area, but shittier weather, still on the coast NYC - highest pay + COL, city life, not for everyone My 2 cents
Don't you think its bs that there is no income tax in Austin. As this directly results in shittier public schools, transportation, quality of life, etc? Would love to hear your opinion on supply side economic theory.
dallas has no income tax as well and has one of the best public school systems in the country. all comes down to local government budget allocation. people working for gov usually aren't great capital allocators which leads to gaps in public service
@@TrentDressel Well, public school budget is impacted by property tax. I'd love to know the disparity in the quality of education between an affluent / upper middle class neighborhood and a low income neighborhood.
Berkeley has one of the best public educational systems in the country. However, there is an insane disparity in the quality between hs in upper middle class neighborhoods and low income neighborhoods. Berkeley itself is a very high income city thus more neighborhoods with high property tax // quality public education.
@ Jon B. Last century, when IBM had nearly 80% of the Global market for Mainframe Computers, when the IBM Personal Computer was just viewed as a Smart Terminal, you could not get a position as a Sales Trainee with either IBM, or what was jokingly referred to as "The Seven Dwarfs", without a degree. In the case of IBM, they did not care if your Tertiary qualifiation was a D.D. (Doctor of Divinity), what concerned them was that you had the patience and determination to complete your studies at a major University, not some variation of a Technical College, or a virtual Correspondence Course, such as those provided by the Grant Cardone University. Then IBM taught the "Graduate Trainees" both the prime technology and the base selling skills. I sold against every Department ever created by IBM during the last century and they were all trained like the SEALS in the United States and the Marines(Commandos) in the UK. While I was never employed by IBM I was trained by their key staff accross the entire spectrum of the Computer Industry, No major Computer Company provides that level of "In-House" training this century, Which is the reason why the top executives in the I.T.C. Sector usually hold a high level MBA, along with an appropriate Degree in a Technical field, such as Computer Science. But as Trent correctly states you don't need any of the above to get a very high paying job in Computer Sales, but you do need a high level of "Self Motivation', but "Cream floats to the top". Phil.

I agree with what you are saying. Hard conversations are not comfortable, but they are sometimes necessary.

Atlanta has a lot of startup companies. I also think Seattle and Austin are booming as well!
I liked the point you made about no matter where you are or if you have the title, you can still live your life as a leader through your actions.
100p
The office I'm attached to is in Salt Lake City 😁🙌🏾. It turns out that SaaS is pretty huge out there!
Dallas and Huntsville are on my list

Is this as a sdr? I have an interview with them on Tuesday would you recommend them?
@@estevangonzales3142 best of luck

Jacksonville FL 6 figures OTE
Big time let’s ride
Are you still in Dallas, I'm looking to relocate to TX and split between Austin and Dallas; can't decide.
Just started my cybersecurity degree but already looking for cities I’m in a small town in South Dakota I just want to move anywhere bigger

Just moved to ATX last month for a SDR role with a SAAS company. Absolutely love it.

So you don't need to have a lot of tech knowledge to get in this field?
I had no technical knowledge or background - all you need is desire to break into sales
