We hear a lot around Austin about how many people live here and work for companies with no presence in Austin. Working from home is often great, and choosing the city where you want to live is a wonderful thing for your lifestyle, but there is more to it than there seems. To thrive in a community you need to find some ways to make friends, connect with people in similar industries (like tech), and to keep connected to your company's HQ so you don't get passed over for opportunities.
In this week's episode of Austin Tech Connect we talk with Jake Pusch, Regional Sales Manager at Dealer Image Pro. Jake has been in tech sales for many years, and has worked remotely from Austin for three different companies. In the conversation he shares "Why Austin?" and what someone working far from their boss and co-workers needs to do to have a balanced life, and be successful in their career.
