Facebook is lately on an expansion spree, with the latest expansion being Austin. Facebook is expected to open a 200-staff office in Austin, Texas.
Facebook also opened an office in Hamburg, Germany, earlier this week.
According to the San Jose Business Journal, Facebook Inc. is expected to create around 200 jobs and is said to be investing about $3.1 million for setting up the operations in Texas.
“Facebook continues to grow and Austin, with its deep talent pool, would allow us to hire the high-caliber employees we need to properly serve the people, advertisers and developers that rely on our service,” Facebook Chief Operationg officer Sheryl Sandberg said.
Thanks to Gov. Rick Perry’s deal of investing $1.4 million for the Austin office through the Texas Enterprise Fund and a $200,000 economic development incentive proposal from the City of Austin.
