I have.
Started in NY and then moved to SF. NY was more work hard and take pride in that you work hard. SF has been work hard, but don’t talk about the fact that you work hard, that’s shameful, this should all be easy.

I prefer NY work culture wise, but SF not work wise.

SF is more laidback where as NYC is very intense. California clients are better and easy going.In NYC it’s very very intense.

SF office is great! I think we’re all pretty chill and nice. Casual dress is reeeally casual. People work hard during busy season but yeah, we aren’t proud of it. We’d rather go out and have lives. Nobody stays late just because someone else is - if you’re done with all your work and you pulled your weight for the day, just go home. During busy season most people do a mini break like go to the gym or meet friends for happy hour, before coming back to work. I don’t know if those are normal or just specific to SF, but those are little reasons I like the SF office

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
