Neither. Move to a reasonably priced town anywhere else.

SF. I love NY, but not where I would want to settle down or potentially start a family. Enjoy life - SF.

Compared to SF? Yes. Dead serious. I'm not saying SoCal is not unpretentious. The Bay Area just brings it to a whole new level. They're even worse when they leave the area (because they wanted a house, usually) and then complain the area they're in isn't the Bay Area. And, let's be clear, NY, Chicago, DC, etc can all be pretentious in their own ways, too.

Don't come to SoCal. It's gross here. Bay Area for sure.

SF if you are interested in tech no doubt

Hello Gang, I’m on the business side for Walmart right now. Walmart Global Tech recently offered me a role to move to the San Bruno office, but I’d be taking a demotion from L6 to E5. YOE: 8, COMP(200k base, 25% bonus, 100k RSU). Is this competitive in the bay? I have Doordash and Instacart in the pipeline, but no final offers yet.

Hi all, I am trying to DCA bi-weekly into Vanguard ETFs, (VO, VTI etc). It seems like Fidelity does not support auto buying of non-Fidelity ETFs. So I was wondering which of these options you think is best?

1. Open a Vanguard Invest account
2. Look for Fidelity ETFs that are similar to Vanguard ETFs
3. Use smaller brokerages like SoFi l, Robinhood etc.

I really do not want to manage nor be active. My goal is to log-in like once every 6 months.

Thank you all.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
