Facebook ringing in more jobs for Austin

All you facebook lovers out there....start prepping...you could be employed by Facebook in Austin pretty soon!

In March the Austin City Council approved $200,000 in incentives for facebook to open an office in downtown Austin ann the State of Texas is contributing over 1 million dollars to help.

“The (Austin) area’s world-class educational system and talented workforce give us the means to quickly establish a strong outfit. We also want Facebook employees to have a high quality of life by being part of a vibrant, dynamic environment, and Austin offers all of that and more. We look forward to building our team here in Austin and enjoying all the wonderful things the city has to offer.” Stated Grady Burnet who is a global online sales for facebook.

Austin Facebook plans on making about 200 jobs with an average salary of $54,000. They are looking for positions in inside sales manager, in side sales account executive, inside sales about associate, fraud analyst and fraud investigator.

Not only is the pay pretty good but the benefits aren't to shabby as well...in addition to the 401k and medical/dental benefits. They offer ALL employees free catered breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, dry-cleaning and laundry services and reimbursement for employees who use public transportation. I can't say if this is a good thing or not though. If your getting offered all this.. that means you will probably be working in your office long hours!
