Austin is always on the top 10 best economies list, always on the top 10 tech hiring list, and Round Rock is one of the fastest growing cities in the US. This author is definitely in the minority in her feelings about the city.
If you know where to look and have the skills, the jobs in the $150k range can be found. If you're thinking of moving here, high end homes in the best schools are only $130/sq ft.
It's not about a dislike of Austin. This is a reply to the article about CEOs trying to lure bay area devs to the city with everything but a proper salary and actually interesting work.

For what it's worth, I grew up around Austin and have absolutely no desire to move back.
If there were developer jobs paying that much, there'd be a line of people at the front door every day wanting to get hired.
Quality people are easy to find, a quality company is not.
