Disappointed Chicago didn’t make the cut 😔

like

Chicago is easily in the top half of this list. Food, night life, and theaters alone it’s top three or four on this list for each. It’s also significantly cheaper then the ones that would be above in each category. Can’t argue with weather or O’Hare though

like

San Diego or Seattle of the listed ones. But really it’s DC or SF/East Bay (Peninsula suckssss) for me.

EAST BAYYY

My personal ranking (currently living in the Bay Area):
1a. Seattle — amazing access to nature, cool climate, existing friend/family base
1b. New York City — unparalleled density and variety of experiences
3a. Portland — kind of Seattle lite with less diversity
3b. San Diego — seemed like a nice city when I visited, although the weather drags it down a bit
3c. Denver — access to mountains is great but no large bodies of water and less diversity (the Asian food options are particularly lacking)
6a. Palo Alto — this would be higher if you expand it to include the City/rest of the Bay Area and if I don’t consider home ownership. Palo Alto is too suburban for me.
6b. Los Angeles — as much as I love this city for its incredible food, I can’t stand the necessity of cars, the traffic, and the heat. I have friends here I’ve never met up with because in the time it takes to drive from the LAX area to SGV I could fly back to SFO
8. Miami — I prefer bars > clubs, mountains and rocky shorelines over sandy beaches, cold over hot... so this is just a fundamental mismatch

D4- lmao I’ve met the least self-aware and vapid people in PA. Silicon Valley culture is elitist and not intersectional at all. Pretending that what they are doing it for the greater good of our lives and not because of how well it pitches to a VC is naive at best.

Any other hiring managers feeling like all of your candidates are asking for more money last minute just to see how far they can go?

It’s hard for me to stay excited about wanting to work with someone when they do that. What a waste of everyone’s time.
