It can be unfortunate when things do not work out in a city, but at least you made the determination in a short period of time. Did you return to a city where you lived prior to Dallas or a brand new city?



For the people who relocate here once they've formed their family, they typically move to DFW and settle into the Collin County suburbs.

The people who I feel are put into a difficult situation are the single and unattached people in their 20s/30s who move here for a corporate job at a big name company that has its office located in a suburb that's not within commutable distance of the central city amenities. The companies in the Legacy Corridor in Plano are a great example of this. It's difficult to turn down a job with a big name company because those names look great on a resume. However, working at one of those companies HQ'ed in the Legacy Corridor is difficult from a lifestyle perspective for someone single and unattached moving here with no social circle. It isn't a setup that is conducive to a good social life in this area.
Agreed. I ended up taking a position in Portland, OR. I’m originally from Seattle; was looking solely for opportunities in the NW. I’m grateful I was able to leave Dallas before the two-year mark.
