LA is for beautiful people, SF is for intelligent people.

As someone who moved to SF - totally regretting the decision. LA for sure. Lower cost of living, better outdoorsy scene, better bars and restaurants. LAX sucks balls though

like

No SF is just for ugly people who have to tell themselves they're intelligent

like

San Francisco by far. As D1 mentioned though, it lacks a bit on the attractiveness/dating scene

like

But they do have a centurion lounge...

SFO is primarily a United hub. Who the hell wants to deal with that

like

LA has better weather and better looking people. Also you won't have to live in a broom closet (Idk about Deloitte, but at PwC, SF and LA get the same starting salary)

like

LA for sure- 1. Weather, 2. People, 3. Cost of living leading to better standard of living. SF is very job/education statusy whereas LA is very judgmental on physical appearance. On the bright side, more motivation to get in shape and be your best.

like

LA unless you want to work for a tech company or start up in the future

like

San Francisco for sure... LA is super spread out so even if you have friends there it will take you ages to get to them. It's not a really city like SF, and I grew up in Southern California. Also it's really bad for dating because everyone is a wannabe actress/model

like

Cost of living in SF is crazy but beautiful city. Love LA tho

Anyone working remotely from San Diego? I’m currently in the greater NYC area and thinking about making the move out there. I need more sun.

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

Hey DFW, TX folks. We're going through comp and merit raises, I suspect you all are too. This is the first year we're using pay ranges from payscale.
