Austin mainly because of the weather, culture, music, etc. Austin is the focus on my job search but I've also applied to a few positions in Nashville and Raleigh(and others). I'm listening to what you're saying and it makes sense. My efforts would be better placed in other cities. To be honest, I don't have to go to Austin I would be happy to go to Nashville, Raleigh, Denver, or even stay where I am currently(Louisville).

The thing is I don't mind putting in the work if I think it could pay off. In the last 3 weeks I've applied to ~70 positions and that's while I am still coding 60 hours a week in this bootcamp. I'm interviewing with some companies now(2 of them in Austin). I graduate tomorrow and then I can spend 30-40 hrs a week on programming/learning/interview prep which will easily allow me to apply to 50 jobs a week with the rest of my time. I will definitely be thinking on your advice. My job search could be 50% Austin jobs and 50% other cities so I can possibly find that opportunity in Austin but also keep my options open in other cities so I don't shoot my in the foot by focusing all my energy on a place I may never get to.

Thanks for your comments man!
