should a Canadian move to SF right now? thoughts on actively pursuing opportunities in the US in the current economic and political landscape? to add i’m neurodivergent and somewhat of a social justice warrior so i’m not sure 1) the SF “networking” culture and 2) the vibe of the city is for me

The easiest answer is to visit it first. But also each city and town has different vibes so do your research. The money is tempting, but the politics is spicy

You can look for a job and then decide if/when you get an offer. This type of decision is hard to make hypothetically. SF and the Bay in general is a big area, and not everyone is hardcore into the « networking » tech scene- the city has something for everyone, once you figure it out.
