Hi everyone! 🎉

I’ll be moving to the Bay Area soon, and I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations of areas to live? I’m thinking San Leandro or maybe Walnut Creek? Palo Alto?

I am looking for a 2 bedroom apartment that’s not over $3000/month! If someone is subletting a furnished place, that would be even better!

Thanks for your help! 💕

$4000 for 2 bed is more realistic

Oh boy… 🫠

Palo Alto should be out of consideration set unless you’re independently wealthy. Sunnyvale, San Jose are at 3.5 - 4K a month for a two bedroom. 3k maybe Walnut Creek or Dublin but the hike into SF will be extremely bad. (Source me - Moved last year into a 3 bedroom townhome - rented)

How is Walnut Creek or Dublin? I don’t mind moving to those areas!

Well where will you be commuting to and what is your max desired commute time?

I won’t be commuting anywhere honestly! I just prefer to be on the west coast since everyone is west coast hours!

Not sure if it would work for you, but I might have a furnished 1BR with sleeper couch and parking available in SF until January 20. You can DM me if you want.

Ooooooo… I don’t particularly, but I’ll check it out!

Walnut Creek is a great choice, and it’s one of the more affordable areas.

Those are all very different areas. What do you need to be close to?

I don’t need to be close to anything! I just wanted to be on the west coast since the whole team is here.

OUCH, there is nothing in that range, unless you venture East to Pleasanton, or south to Morgan Hill.

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?
