Nice! Places like Lower Haight, Hayes Valley, Mission, North Beach, NoPa will all be fun and cool. Should be able to find a 1bed for around 3500. Places like Pac Heights will be much nicer and much more expensive. Avoid the marina and cow hollow, unless you are into “basic” things. Sunset and Richmond would get you more space but it’s far

Cost of living went up almost 2x from NYC for me. I’d say 160-180K would be a good target.

No car. But I’m paying more in rent to live in a more walkable area central to transit (BART/MUNI). Having a car in SF is a nightmare with parking alone costing upwards of $500/month. Not to mention constant break-ins. Honestly not worth the hassle unless you find a place with a garage included

Don’t bring a car here. If you can get 150+ you should feel okay!

Hi all, I am looking for opportunities into AWS for a sysops admin,cloud engineer
Recently my AWS solution architect associate certification got expired and will be completing AWS sysops Associate certification by end of this month Nov 2022
Currently working as network/cloud support

Skill set : AWS EC2, RDS, ALB,S3,SES
Exp : 5.5 years
Relevant exp : 3.5 years
Current CTC : 6 lak
Expected CTC : 14 lak
Pref location : Chennai, banglore

Kindly help me find a right opportunity guys!

PARTNERS: two questions —1. If you see an associate has really low hours for the month, do you imagine them chillen on a beach somewhere or do you consider they probably spent most of their days sitting in front of the computer being “available”? 2. If you send an associate a random e-mail on a weekend like “Can you pull X and send to Y”, would you get annoyed if they responded saying they weren’t by a comp or would you consider it reasonable that they wouldn’t be by a comp on a weekend?

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!

I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.
