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.

Hi,
I'm currently having an offer from BlueOptima and Cohesity and am conflicted between the two.
I have offers in the SDET profile.
Cohesity Inc is providing me MTS and @BlueOptima is providing SDET-1.

Glassdoor reviews more of less place the two companies almost equally, and the package being offered by the two is almost in the same range.
My preferences include:
Learning opportunities in the role.
Company's work environment.
Company's growth prospects, are also a consideration.

It only took me 7 years to figure this system out.... posting in case it helps anyone else! I color coded my classes and printed off numbers according to the number of kids in my classes. I then assign each kid a number that corresponds with my gradebook. When they turn in their projects, they put their number with it. This way, no contact and I can easily see who has and hasn't turned in their projects yet. I take the list down once they remember their number.

What would you do if you didn’t need money? I have a fair amount coming one day and don’t actually need to work to live a good life (middle / upper-middle class). I work because of this vague notion of “ambition” and because everyone I grew up around is highly competitive and hard driving. I just feel unhappy so often and am wondering what this is all leading to. Scared I’m wasting my life being unhappy / in turmoil cause it’s what my culture wants me to do.

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.

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.

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.
