Can you not fly out of Oakland? Going to SFO is a commute in itself.

5:15

leave at 2am right from the bars

Am also in East Bay. I wouldn't Uber, normally BART

I typically fly United, so OAK is not an option... I left at like 5:30 and got to the airport around 6:20. Only reason I was up earlier was because my 3 year old son decided to wake up at 4:45... thanks for the advice everyone.

Lafayette to SFO is direct, no transfers and takes 66 mins. Driving into SFO from Lafayette without traffic is 35 mins but OP is going with traffic and the Caldecott Tunnel combined with the MacArthur Maze AND Bay Bridge during morning rush hour (Financial District, 1st stop off BB - start ~ 5 am) make it an unpredictable 50 mins to an hour and half drive - at best. Have lived in East Bay for 32 years and travelled from here for about 11 of them.

like

Cross the bay bridge no later than 6:10 if you're driving, otherwise Bart. After 6am bridge, downtown, the 101 traffic start backing up

like

^yup.

Should be be able to get to the airport in 1h 5m

L1 that's like the time it takes just to cross the bay bridge at 7am

bart from east bay to sfo? driving is faster

I'd be careful leaving any later than 6:30. I've spent 45 minutes trying to cross the bridge alone. I'd say 6, you'll wind up with extra time at the airport but you just never know with the 80, especially if your uber driver doesn't know how to navigate it.

^Seriously! Fly out of OAK.

Sometimes Oakland isn't a viable option 😕 all my flights out of there to my client would have connections. What time did you end up leaving OP?

How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
