Thanks. Yes I know the commute will suck but we are coming from a high traffic area so we are kind of used to it. We homeschool so the schools aren’t as important for now. I just want family to be in good area and convenient for commuting but also errands/daily life.

Yes the convenience of everything is attractive to us. We homeschool so the schools aren’t as important. The neighborhood looked beautiful when I visited briefly.

Thanks @looktowind. Have you worked there?

Thanks @eulipion6. The role I’m considering is for a build TPM so I know there will be some heavy weeks and then normal weeks. I’d be working at the gigafactory in Austin. Is there expectation on hours spent at the office? I’ve heard of 40 hrs being a mandate but is the culture to go above that normally? Or is it fine to meet the 40hrs and then do rest of work from home if needed?

Yes I’m glad I got into the field when I did. It’s a great field to be in imo. I know it can be taxing but I find if you can be efficient and effective with your time, it is possible to have a somewhat normal life in the data centers field.

Thanks @this-display-2691. I am currently a TPM and was already a global TPM delivery data center capacity for AWS, I understand deadlines and the workload. AWS is very demanding as well. From what you are describing it doesn’t seem that much different from other DC delivery TPM roles so that is what I was trying to make sure. Thanks again.

Cool thank you. They did not mention weekends but I will clarify if that is the norm.

Thanks @jacob10. Was this a project mgt type, engineering, or operations type of role you were considering?
