Things to bring? San Jose is pretty much the same as the rest of America, fyi.. We also have target and Walmart. I guess bring a light jacket or something?

Bring a comfortable jacket, especially if you plan on sightseeing in San Francisco.

Are you working? Time for sightseeing? October is a great month to be here.

Damn, I want that client, I’m in Boston

OP, you commercial or public?

Let me guess, divestiture engagement?

San Pedro square, museum of art, San Jose sharks games, Japan town

Get your driver license and your smart phone. Or camera. Go to Santa Cruz. Monterey. Carmel. Stanford. Lots of great hiking in the Santa Cruz mountains or the many hills and parks.

Thanks for the advice everyone!

Bring comfortable walking shoes for sightseeing. Went into SF and had 10k steps before noon. Also make sure to bring a windbreaker for the city.

Hi folks, I had a quick question around remote work. My office is in San Francisco but I worked remotely from NJ for clients on the WC. How should I answer the question, “did you earn income working remotely by providing the services in a different state than the state you originally engaged employment with it”? If it matters, I never set foot in CA.

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?

What are peoples opinions on work from home? It seems to be an unpopular opinion but as a junior I despise it. I work 3 feet from my bed, I find the barriers of a phone/email between me and a senior to add a huge amount of stress to my life and I think it’s stunting my career development at my firm because I can’t build relationships as effectively. I’ve never at all had mental health issues before but now am really starting to feel burnt out and anxious most of the time. What do you think?
