Considering inflation and cost of living, is it likely that San Diego employers will have to match salaries that of Bay Area

Recently moved to London from San Francisco. I was aware of the pay cut, but can someone please explain to me why an expensive city like London pays so poorly?

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

Hi All, I fell victim to the recent tech layoffs in July when our startup had its funding pulled mid-series B. I was let go without severance and am starting to panic because sending out resumes in this job market feels like screaming into the void. Do any of you have any hiring leads for mid/senior level marketing communications positions? For reference, my last role was Director of Comms at a consumer health tech brand, 12 yoe total (+6 PR agency) tc $160k based in San Fran.

Industrial Company:

Both companies have good MBA placement. What would you do?

They say the US has free speech, but to what extent is this true in 2022?
I graduated from GSB, live in San Fran, am left on most things, but find that it’s extremely easy to be ostracized for having any opinion even slightly against the “woke left.” Beyond the obvious ostracization online, it’s extremely true in social circles / gatherings if even a slight opinion is expressed that swings towards the right. Funny though how many of the moral high ground proponents also engage in NIMBYism.

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
