Has anyone in their 40s moved to San Diego? What was your experience there socially? Did you find it to be welcoming/ easy to make friends?

Me. I freaking love it here, and definitely friendly. The drawback is how expensive it is.

I might not be able to do a month because of my schedule before I actually move but I can at least do two weeks. That could give me an idea of what it is like there. I’ve been working remote, but inside a sales territory since 2018, so I’m pretty used to that. It sounds like it is common there.

It’s not a great once for career-oriented people. It’s a great place to raise kids, however, and for people looking to maximize quality of life.

I'm 41, moved here in February from LA. I love it here. This is the most social I've been in a long time. I knew a handful of people coming in and have made a great circle of friends. Originally met some through discord for cycling. And met another discord group for social gatherings. People are friendly down here overall and it's nice that random people make small talk with you as well. San Diego has been great for my mental health. I don't think I'll leave unless I get priced out

Hi everyone! First time using this app. I always wondered, how are other IT help desk jobs? I’ll share how mine is.

It’s busy all the time and I get to experience all different types of apps, OSes, and almost every aspect of IT in this way. I make around 50k which is alright but its hectic as there’s too many tickets and not enough personnel. I heard this is common but I’m not sure.

Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city. My problem is I have been more of a homebody since I moved here and I'm a little intimidated to go out and meet people because I don't feel like I fit in here. I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.
