It's a big risk moving anywhere without a job lined up but San Francisco probably takes the cake. Do you plan on using a homeless shelter?

Yup. Will last a month while you find a job, a house or marry a millionaire

Definitely. You can do the math. Never been to sfo but imagine a $2.5k apartment. First and last month rent 5k. Get a menial job or do uber for 20 hours a week to cover groceries. That leave you 5 months of time to find a job. Should be fine in this job market

Cmon guys. Is $5k enough per month? Rent food etc. while interviewing. I need a change and am feeling dangerous.

If you’re not bougie af, this is super feasible. Rent is $1500-2000 a month and you can easily get on the low side of that if you live near Balboa Park, Glen Park or Daly City (also readily available in Outer Richmond/Sunset). Ignore the idiots above

EPA can be sketchy, haven't seen prices in Menlo Park but would guess it's on the higher side. I'd look at Redwood city. Roommates are a good option as well.

Hello fellow SAP Consultants!
