Does anyone have an opinion on SF/Mountainview vs NY/Manhattan?

What kind of aspects do you specifically want an opinion on?
Very diverse community in both.
Mountain View will have a lot of people working in tech and NYC is a mix. More South Indians in the Bay than NYC. The hustle is a bit harder in Manhattan. If you are in your 20s, NYC!

Yes I heard there are more men in the bay than women and more women than men in NYC. I’ve seen some of the worst kinds of men in both locations. I don’t know if placing bets on a location because of dating is right. I personally prefer to go to a place where there’s a strong support of friends/relatives.

I’ve been in community corrections for almost two years. I love what I do in case management, for inmates working on reentry but I would like to explore other job roles and start making a better income. I’m really interested in tech and project management roles. I just do not know where to start far as getting my foot in the door with either industry. I have a BA criminology, I adjust to quick changes, I thrive in fast paced environments and I learn quick. I have a great work ethic.

Ladies, 👋. I’m hoping this is a start to a great network. As a single Desi woman in my 30s, I’m struggling in some spheres of life and I see that other great women are too. I see women put up with bad colleagues/jobs and toxic partners/family because we all are conscientious. I hope we tap into strength and make some meaningful connections and friends here. Totally open to local meet-ups/virtual meets to work on a better us! Open to expanding to non-fishbowl users as well if anyone interested

Hey guys,

This is an embarassing question to ask but every time I go on a date, guys keep pestering me how am I single and 34. I am too exhausted to answer it.

I know the stereotype is that something is wrong with us. I have days where I can't keep my chin up anymore

need advice.

I have been working in an interim role as a portfolio manager. I was promised that the role would be mine. However, after doing the job for 2 months, I have been advised that we might not get the funding for the role and I might not get the raise and the title but my responsibilities will be the same.

Its a political minefield.

How should I back out elegantly that I need to be compensated fairly and competitively from this mess without burning any bridges

My complexion and under eyes get very pigmented when I don’t sleep well. I have a wedding to go to in a few weeks and I know I should sleep more to look ok but I don’t. Any tips on looking healthy and getting some glow for brown skin? I used to get facials pre covid but can’t anymore.
