Relocate from NYC to Sunnyvale CA. Any recommendations where to rent apartment? I know I have to give up my city life, but still want a young and vibrant neighborhood. 40 min commute at most

Where is your office OP? If it’s in Sunnyvale, I’d get an apartment there or close to downtown Mountain View. But if possible, definitely move to SF. Source: live in the Bay Area

Thx guys. I’ll switch to Google so It seems Sunnyvale and Mountain View downtown are good options. It seems there’re no high-rise apt buildings. Will miss the views from my current apt in nyc

Where are you working? Commuting is a nightmare so unless you want to spend all your time in a car-live near work.

I overheard someone the other day here in NYC saying that she is “saving so much money” since moving from San Fran. 🤣🤑🤷‍♀️

I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?
