Bay Area fish...

Anyone working in FiDi live in South San Francisco, Daly City or even further south (Burlingame, San Mateo, etc)? Would you recommend it?

Thinking about things like: commute time (office, airport), cheaper rent, more boring areas, cleaner/safer, etc.

Yes! I live in South City and used to work in fidi. Had a very active social life (love going out on weekends, eating out in the city, parks etc). The commute wasn’t bad as it was only a 30 minute bart ride. I also had lots of clients in south bay so I got to skip the city traffic going south. I have a car which is really convenient for me to get to places (~15 mins drive to the city/ uber wasn’t too bad on weekends) Love how it’s more quiet and safe.

Cons: sometimes I do wish I am in the city so i am only a few blocks away from my friends/ walkable distance so that I can host friends as well but i honestly really like my living space now! I learned that friends would actually travel down to visit me too and it’s a non issue haha

I have been a paralegal or legal assistant since 2010. I have worked for small and large firms and a TPA. I've worked in L&E, PI, and ID. Billing hours gave me nightmares.

I make a lot of mistakes everywhere I work. I feel so incompetent. Should I just abandon this career path?
