In SF? Absolutely

I haven’t lived in SF but man, nothing beats the feeling of anxiety keeping you warm as you step out of grand central in December to a teams message of a lousy PM ripping you apart for a mistake they made. Genuinely made me feel so alive. I love NYC.

Depends. How disgusting do you prefer your city?

Different kinds of disgusting tbh

Depends on what industry you focus on, but NYC will generally be better for work.

That said, I’d factor personal life too and would personally choose the Bay

If you ain't in tech, then you don't truly belong in SF 👀

Hi everyone - We are thinking of changing our wedding photographer after unsatisfactory engagement photos and unsatisfactory communication (unresponsive after multiple attempts). We paid a $450 retainer which we know will be not refundable. However, we are not sure about other liability as we read our contract and found these 2 clauses (in comments). Please advise! Definitely not happy with her and would like to switch to another one but also want to make sure we make the right move. Thanks!

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

Our firm told everyone no bonuses this year due to the pandemic. However, people like myself with high utilization received a “bonus” in terms of a gift card. My director notified me of this, but the other day my boss was mentioning how no bonuses this year really sucks. I was told by the director to not mention it to anyone but I figured if anyone knew I got one it’d be my boss. I feel super uncomfortable now because do I essentially lie to my boss because I’m not supposed to talk about it.
