Most jobs I am looking at are in SF downtown requiring 3 days in the office. I live in Palo Alto area. If I wanted to avoid taking the train and have to drive because of pregnancy, what’s the parking situation? I saw there are garages you can pay monthly. Anyone can tell me more about it? Are they easy to get or even with the monthly subscription finding parking is impossible? Trying to understand how feasible is it for me to take a job in SF

This is something your employer would be able to tell you. Maybe they have a shuttle, parking passes, or recommended lots. Don’t worry about it until you have an offer in hand. Taking a job in SF is definitely feasible from Palo Alto. Although I recommend the caltrain/bart as others have recommended.

Haven’t been going that frequently, but in my experience, there’s usually spots in at least one of the Embarcadero building parking lots.

It is unclear what exactly you are seeking to learn. It seems you should price shop monthly parking using a search engine.

I would also encourage you to think more long term than your pregnancy, which is temporary. Maybe you can work remotely (or just eat the cost of parking) while pregnant and then commute by train afterwards?

Most garages don't have monthly passes left. So you will likely end up paying daily rates of ~25-40 depending on location, and you will sometimes struggle to find parking. However if you are pregnant you can use the disabled spots, just get a temp placard from DMV.

Parking in a lot isn’t too bad. Seems like downtown is still pretty sleepy. Also a lot of companies either have deals with lots or an optional travel stipend you can use through benefits. I just use SpotHero, which makes things easy.

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
