Looking at moving to SF soon. Any recommendations on what neighborhoods to look at? Office would be close to Salesforce tower, so something with easy commute to there would be great. Single late twenties male if that matters. I am interested in areas that are generally not dead and where I can meet people. Thank you.

Anything not Tenderloin or bordering Tenderloin, like TenderNob.
Personally love/like Pac Heights, Marina, North Beach, Washington Square Park, Russian Hill, Height & Ashbury and anything close to the walkway on Embarcadero.

Marina, PAC heights, Russian hill if I were you and I could do it over again.

Yes absolutely. You may need to Uber from time to time.

Agreed with PM1 on the shortlist of neighborhoods!

Assuming you’re looking to date, I’d avoid Tendernob - there may be some great bars, but anyone who’s not familiar with your neighborhood (e.g., a date) may not feel comfortable walking around or meeting near your place. Just speaking from personal experience. Fwiw, I live in Russian Hill, so maybe I’m too sheltered... 🤔

Final note - my biggest frustration with SF (having moved from Manhattan) was the lack of efficient public transportation options (wrt both time and money). With the hills and lack of connectivity between neighborhoods, I ubered a LOT when I first arrived in SF. I’ve since invested in a bike, and covid made work commute less relevant, but depending on your priorities, expect to make a trade-off between neighborhood vibe and commute time.

Thank you. Very helpful! I am looking at Russian hill, Telegraph hill, north beach and south beach. Is it possible to walk to groceries, etc? Is there a community vibe? Easier to meet people?

South Beach is for cultureless slime. North Beach and Telegraph Hill are generally younger (early twenties) but it’s fine, just a bit hilly. Bob and Russian Hill are nice. I live in NOPA currently and love it, but it’s just a teeny bit far (20-30 min bus) from the eventual office commute

like

No it’s fine, just a little bit windy. Not too loud, but strong concentration of young yuppies especially with the parks and restos around. Solid area

like

Marina, Pac Heights, Russian Hill, Haight Ashbury, and North Beach.

I’ve lived in South Beach, Rincon Hill, Marina, Russian Hill/Nob Hill, and Cole Valley. South Beach is mainly businesses and pretty dead at night. Traffic gets annoying during baseball game season. You don’t need a car for any of the neighborhoods I recommended. I am a water person so I prefer the Marina. If you like parks then Haight Ashbury/NOPA/Cole Valley could be good due to its proximity to Golden Gate Park

like

Nob hill, marina, pac heights, north beach, or fidi if you want to be very close. Disregard PM1, tendernob (Bush st, nothing below sutter) is great. Also tendernob has some great bars.

Can anyone give me insight on how important it is to like your practice area? I finished up a clerkship in 2020 when then market was terrible and felt pressure to take the first job I was offered.

(It could also be the low salary, the billable hours, the intangible but definitely present boys club, etc).

Need some career advice. I’m currently a Salesforce consultant in healthcare, looking to pivot to work within the political sphere - specifically social impact/policy.

What are some possible routes I can take from here? And/or specific companies I should look into?
