So the job hunt is in full swing. I went to a National Association of Hispanic MBAs event in Dallas a couple of weeks ago and I went to the NSHMBA national conference in Philly this past weekend. I’ve got a spreadsheet with 30 positions (and growing) that I’ll be applying to over the next couple of weeks. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t super scary.

I’m looking primarily in DFW and Austin areas, since my cousin and his family are up in Southlake and my friends and parents (6 months out of the year) are in Austin. I’m also going to apply in DC, because I have a bunch of family in that area and it’s relatively close to my sister, who is in Brooklyn.

My aunt passed away last January and that recalibrated the way I look at where I want to work. I’ve decided that I’ll ideally either be within a 3 or 4 hour drive of my parents or of my sister. So Texas and the Northeast are the front runners right now. But if I find an awesome opportunity in a cool city somewhere else, I’m open to that, too. But I sure would love to stay in Texas, which has become my home over the last 7 years. Despite being forced to watch either Dallas or Houston football games every Sunday on network TV, it’s a pretty cool place to live.
