I can't stand the startup culture in the Bay Area... everyone thinks what they are doing is so important or disruptive or life-changing, and they hide it all under a guise of modest altruism. At least in NY the egos are easier to spot and dismiss. #NYCgreatestcity #grewupinthebayneverlookedback

NYC all the way baby. Best nightlife, awesome restaurants, never need a car, people that aren’t all weird and techie, close to other important cities, 3 airports. New York is a badass fast paced city and am so happy with my decision to move here. And hey, at least here you won’t be the only one wearing business/biz casual attire

Grew up in SF, essentially ran away to NYC post graduation. I have not had fewer regrets on anything in my whole life. 100% agree with C1. On top of that, NYC has the strongest nightlife, public transport in the bay is SHIT compared to MTA (even with its flaws), and the predominantly white techbro culture in SF is pricing out any semblance of diversity the bay used to have.
