Took 14 months to find one reliable coworking spot in Austin, is it just me?
I moved here last March thinking coworking would be easy to sort out. Nope. First place had constant noisy calls, second one kept changing their wifi password without telling anyone, and the third had a weird mold smell near the AC vent. I tracked my visits and it literally took 14 months and 9 different spaces before I found one that actually worked for me. Part of me wonders if I'm being too picky, like maybe I should just accept imperfect places and move on. But the other part thinks we deserve better, especially when you're paying $300 plus a month for a desk. Has anyone else spent way too long hunting for a decent spot, or did I just hit a bad run of luck in Austin?
Man, 9 spots over 14 months sounds less like bad luck and more like a you problem. Most people find a decent desk in a month or two, so maybe some of those dealbreakers were things you could've just lived with. Not every spot has to be perfect, sometimes good enough is good enough.
