When people say San Diego is awesome - which areas are they typically talking about? The beaches? Have only been to downtown / gaslamp and remember it being kind of dirty

Downtown & Gaslamp areas are just a super small part of SD, so definitely check out other places if you’re able to next time! Obviously there are lots of beach areas (Mission Beach, Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach, La Jolla, Torrey Pines, Mission Bay, Imperial Beach) and they all kind of have their own personalities depending on what you like to do (for example, La Jolla is a very expensive area but lots of cool things to do then Mission Beach is more low key and chilling on the beach type of activities). Then there are neighborhoods more inland like North Park, Hillcrest, Gaslamp Quarter, Downtown, Little Italy, Kearny Mesa, Mission Valley, etc with other various things to do and amazing food if you don’t like beaches. There’s also surrounding cities like in North County SD (Carlsbad, Oceanside, San Clemente) and if you like wine, Temecula wine country is only an hour drive away.

I moved from LA to SD a year and a half ago and I’ve absolutely loved it. Still a big city with lots of things to do, but not as crazy and busy like LA.

Nobody here in San Diego talk about the downtown being great.

I live in SD and work as a consultant. Salaries are much lower so you gotta work for a large consultancy and just travel.

Everything ppl are saying is correct. Plus hiking is awesome. The zoo is amazing and Petco Park is the best baseball stadium in the league for casual fans.

I make around 50k which is alright but its hectic as there’s too many tickets and not enough personnel. I heard this is common but I’m not sure.

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time
