I live in North SJ (near N 1st Street) and I love it! It’s not much cheaper than Palo Alto, Menlo Park, MTV, etc, but I really enjoy having a car, having a dog, and the amenities around me. That being said, it isn’t terribly ‘exciting’ and there isn’t a lot of nightlife nearby.

^G1,are you in strat & ops ?

Thanks G1. How about living closer to SF, how bad is the commute from SF to San Jose? Would that even be worth considering? East coast, so I have zero knowledge on Bay Area

Yup, in S&O, though may move within G soon. I absolutely do NOT recommend that commute. If you work in the city- live in the city. Most of my coworkers live in SF because google has shuttles that take us to mtv. The morning commute for you would be 2hrs bc of traffic.

Don’t commute from SF to SJ - traffic is a nightmare, both ways, anytime.

G1, whats the reason behind your move? Recruiters reached out for associate position, can G match C pay? Currently SAC.

Google "Man Jose"

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city. My problem is I have been more of a homebody since I moved here and I'm a little intimidated to go out and meet people because I don't feel like I fit in here. I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
