What’s a realistic TC for a Senior Systems Engineer in Texas? I have 11 YOE with data center technologies (VMWare, HCI, Networking, SAN, etc.) as well as plenty of Windows experience. It seems like every post and job these days are for software developers. I have been working on my AWS certification. Are people like me already obsolete?

I am moving from NYC to San Francisco. Does anyone have recommendations of where to live in the city? We both love city life, in our 30s, just got married. Both work in Tech, one in San Fran and other is in Menlo Park. Any suggestions to check out would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Travel Bowl friends! A few months ago I asked for some recommendations for my San Diego trip and everything was SPOT ON. I come to you again asking for more… My wife and I will be traveling to Phoenix, AZ for the holidays and are looking for some good hiking spots, restaurants and activities to do in the area. We will be there for 5 days and are also renting a car! Thank you and I’m looking forward to your responses 😋

ASK: Planning on moving from Dallas to San Diego. Has anyone made a similar move? Can anyone suggest some good suburbs with great schools? Is 750k a reasonable budget to buy a new home in the suburbs with a great school? Right now, I'm leaning towards Carlsbad, San Marcos. TIA!

Are there any Big Law L&E groups in San Francisco that don’t expect 24/7 availability and actually respect a evenings and weekends as being “off-work” hours? Or only outside of Big Law to find that? Any recommended firms for that good work life balance in Bay Area?

Spent the weekend partying in San Diego and LA. Back in northern va working remotely. How do I not hate my life today? Serious answers only

San Francisco restaurant or speakeasy reccs?

Any thoughts on Manhattan beach or hermosa beach for a single 29 Male - have the option of moving out west and San Diego and LA are on my mind. Love being outdoors (road biking, running, would love to pickup surfing & volleyball), enjoy nice restaurants, meeting new people, etc. I won’t know anyone in either city so hopefully it’s not impossible to make friends 😬

What cities have the best job market for CPAs? San Francisco? Dallas? Somewhere else?

We are set to fly to India from San Francisco in less than a week. With what is in the news for Omicron, we’re really nervous with all the travel restrictions and cases on the rise. Anyone also traveling to India? Anything we should know? Are we better off postponing?

I’ve already had COVID once so I think all this just fuels my anxiety around COVID.

Any good restaurant in San Diego? Just moved here. Wanted some recommendation

Hi Everyone! My parents are visiting San Francisco next week. They are in their early sixties. What are some activities that they could do? They already have a wine tour lined up an hour outside of San Francisco. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. They just want to have a memorable trip. One of them has never been to San Francisco, nor the Bay Area before, and my other parent has not been in well over a decade.

Looking for Mexico recommendations that are outside of the typical tourist destinations. Looking for recommendations on magic towns to visit around Mexico City (note: have visited San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato already). Thanks!

I have not seen companies offer RSUs, higher bonuses in Texas but same companies offer a much higher TC in bay area or in cities like Seattle, San Fransisco etc. Is it worth the hassle to move to tech hot spots like SF, Seattle for more money? On the other hand sacrifices would be lower housing.

Just trying to make high leve plans. Any pointers/views will be helpful

I have always wanted to move to San Antonio, TX (4hrs away from where I live). I told my employer because they also have offices there and they decided they would transfer me because they don't want to loose me. Yet San Anronio is a higher cost of living and they want to move me with the same pay! I decided to stay so I can move but, I need a Technology job in San Antonio. My department has had crazy turn over. Everyone except me and my supervisor are (less than 1 month in).
