Thank you! My wife and I are really excited to be closer to family and the mountains. I'll be working in the Tech Center so any housing location recommendations are appreciated. We will lease for a year and then buy something. We have a big dog so a yard would be awesome.Thriller said:

Hello!
I've recently left an Oil & Gas giant in Houston for employment in Denver.
I have 3 years of experience in the industry as a facilities engineer and would like to continue working as an engineer in Denver. Any advice and guidance in the right direction would be great. Thanks!
Hah, so at year 2 for us in CO, my wife still had no friends, and I got laid off in summer 3..H said:
But, do plan for your move back to Houston after the first winter, after the two year mark when your wife still hasn't made any friends, and after the four year mark when you get laid off.
Or better yet, buy an east facing house with open space behind your west facing backyard (or vice versa) and have the snow melt in your front and backyard. The only snow I have stick around for long periods of time are on the sides of my house (since the neighbors are close)Thriller said:
Buy a south facing house. :Thought we don't get a ton of snow every year, there are at least one to two times a year I complain about my north farting driveway and curb that retains snow/ice longer than my neighbors.
-The politics are blue and getting bluer. Certain portions of the Front Range haven't met a tax they don't like.
That may be so, but Colorado is becoming blue at a very rapid clip. The politics of the state are definitely something to watch for people coming from Texas, especially if they have a conservative mindset coming in.62strat said:Or better yet, buy an east facing house with open space behind your west facing backyard (or vice versa) and have the snow melt in your front and backyard.

Every place is getting bluer because metros are always blue and eventually the metro pop. in every state will outnumber the rural/burbs.

see the results of the CO-6 election flipping from R to D.
Both branches of the state leg, governor, etc. Denver proper has been blue - I should have clarified Denver metro.

Now in year 7, we're still here, we both have a better job than ever, and we have 6 families on our street alone with 13 kids under 6 between us all that we see on pretty regular basis.
Moral of the story, don't get sucked back to TX with poor excuses.
Edit; I also still have my 979 cell number
Good Luck!Quote:

I think the two main things for some leaving CO and going back 'home' is family and their fondness of where they came from.HollywoodBQ said:Imagine if you had a 303 number?

Seriously though, when I wrote that post, my thoughts were totally joking/not joking. I did want the poster I was replying to to know that a lot of times it doesn't work out. And if it does work out, it frequently doesn't workout the way you planned it.
When I moved to Denver from Austin, I met a lot of Texans (let's say 20+ that I was close with). Literally, all of them except for 3 were gone within 4 years. Those three who I'm still friends with, have struggled. In fact, one of them just got laid off last week. I really wanted Colorado to work out but, it didn't. I was a hard pipe hitter before I moved to Denver and I wasn't willing to do "pay to play" to remain in Denver. Getting laid off was the event that triggered my move to Los Angeles and it only took weeks/months, not years, to have a full social agenda in LA with loads of friends (as much as anybody in LA can really be your friend anyway - everyone in SoCal is flaky AF). Personally, I thought a lot of people's reasons for moving back to Texas so quickly were B.S. but, it does happen.
On a side note - I sure do miss my 818 number from LA.Good Luck!Quote:
