SF vs NYC? Haven’t been to SF but have been to NYC a lot and love the diversity. Have friends in NYC but none in SF. New job has both locations as a possibility, but national travel required.

In my opinion, NYC is a better city but the Bay Area is a better place to live. I love NY but couldn’t see myself living there. If you have friends and family on the east coast and travel would be mainly in the east, choose NY. People have told me SF is hard to make friends outside of work unless you put in a real effort.

If you have any questions about SF, happy to answer. I’ve been here a little over 3 years

That’s what I was nervous about with SF. Don’t have friends, and the office is a smaller satellite office.. so might not be the best opportunity to make friends at work

Live in SF, moving to LA at the end of the May and I can confirm that SF is in fact trash.

like

Strange smell in LA. But prefer it to SF though. Great weather

If the choice isn’t obvious, NYC is the winner. Been here 10+ years and still haven’t left, mainly because I hadn’t yet had a compelling reason to. Maybe someday, but again, there had better be a compelling reason.

Fun fact, I saw homeless people straight up smoke crack (!!) on broad daylight out on the open at 9AM on a Tuesday on my way to work. Honestly, it was a bit much so early in the morning. They were not trying to hide it, either. That’s SF.

like

I should add that my family is in the west coast (Seattle), not in SF though. Main office/operations are in east coast (consulting firm)

Have fam in San Diego, and moved to SF from NYC because I thought it would be easier being closer. Left back to nyc after a year. With flex travel I see them almost the same amount. Being on the same coast was less valuable than I thought It’d be. Hands down, nyc. (Agree with everything said above about SF as well. Reported cases of human feces in the street went from 20k->28k between 2017 and 2018. Enough said.)

NYC over SF any day.
Sigh, too bad I'm stuck here in SF 😣

Hi team ,

I have started working from jul2019 and I have filed my tax return for 2020 and 2021 tax years.


However I note that there was withholding of some amount in 2017-2018 and 2019 tax years ( withholding from comission received from insurance commission from lic and United india)

I have not filed 2017, 2018, 2019 return as my total income was less than threshold

Is it possible to file return for 2017 , 2018, 2019( all r in refund) now without paying any penalty?

You CAN be that leader that people want to work with. 1st, self assessment is required. Be honest: As a leader,have you engaged in/accepted Attribution Bias with a dash of gender &/or race bias?

Be on the lookout for Attribution Bias in yourself & on your team. It's a hindrance to creating a high-performing, inclusive culture.
