The Dallas office is an administrative office and will not have eng roles. Also, these are all "promises", we really have to see how it plays out. Promises are cheap. Remember how Foxcon was going to hire 10k people in Wisconsin

That isn't what the article in the parent comment says:

>The office would include engineers, finance executives, salespeople and other roles across Uber's business.

"engineers" is a pretty nebulous term these days though.
