What's your favorite red wine?
I joined KGS in feb 2022, we recently got a mail regarding timeline of appraisal and bonus payout from the partner. My reporting manager hasn't yet reached out to me regarding goal setting, not sure if that happens here. Can you pls help me to know what all things we need to do from our end for the appraisal cycle and bonus payout? Since I'm new to this company KPMG KPMG India

Dc has a LOT to offer. It isn’t just hill/political staff. Tons of industries and tons of young people. Bar scenes are pretty good too - plenty of beer gardens, cocktail bars, and wine bars. If going out isn’t your thing, there’s a lot of outdoors in close proximity to the city (and in the city - Rock Creek park). Lots of events here as well with all the Embassies. If you’re wondering about dating - different story. Not that you won’t meet people, it’s just so transient no one you’d meet will be serious about dating

Spent my 20s in DC and just moved to SF. I love DC but I recommend SF.
i've lived in both. i'd go SF for sure. DC is kinda a sleepy town and if you're trying to date, then you'll be frustrated with your options there
DC def better, dating wise, for guys
Come to Dallas instead! We have six flags!

No entertainment? No bars? Not theatres? No arcades? I thought Dallas had a fairly young population. Never been so speculating based on that I hear. Perhaps not the same options for 20 year olds I guess
DC hands down! Lots of free stuff and so many people your age.

Having done both, DC for sure

Just move to NYC. It’ll make you a lot happier than either of those places.
Should have gotten a full time remote job
Prepandemic I would have said SF, but it’s really died down since then
SF or Bay Area
Neither go to Miami
SF post pandemic is kinda meh. Dating in SF has never been good.
Spent my early twenties in SF, rest of my twenties in DC. Clearly biased because I’m here but I would have loved DC in my early twenties. The main draw is that the city is both incredibly young and remains fresh due to people cycling in and out. I’d recommend the Bay Area for people a little more established financially and less interested in things like a lively club scene - so people typically in their early thirties or so? Broadly, SF is a little more of an introverted city from my impression, mostly because the industry is tech and finance. DC is also incredibly international, DCA is a 10-15 min drive and will take you anywhere in the country, Dulles is ~45 min and has fights to Paris and Amsterdam for under $400. SFO is annoying to get to from the city and expensive to fly out of, and Oakland’s Airport isn’t great for # of destinations. Dating in DC also takes the cake (I’m a straight male).
Go to new york or chicago
SF is infinitely better.
DC is just so… soulless? Nothing seems genuine.
Purely out of curiosity, as I am in DC, happily married, and unconcerned about dating - why is dating bad in DC?
Chief
If you’re a straight male with baseline emotional competency and somewhat passable looks, you have the pick of the crop of women in DC
Tables are flipped in SF. If you have two X chromosomes, you can have a line of prospective partners around the corner, lol
I’ve done both, SF is more fun for 20s
I’ve lived in both, and I’m very much a DC person as someone who enjoys politics and train-able cities and is not outdoorsy at all. But it depends on what you are looking for in a city. You can get away without a car in DC since it had decent public transportation that takes you to many [mostly free] museums, cultural landmarks, sports stadiums, public parks and waterfront, etc. SF is much better if you are outdoorsy and have a car (since public transportation is limited) since you can drive to great hiking, wine, and skiing in Tahoe — and money since every cultural thing costs money. Both are expensive, struggling with homelessness, and have their dating challenges.
California all the way. Much better lifestyle.

NYC or LA
30 dollars a day for parking in LA and you gotta driveee. GO NYC
Sf is sooooo dead post Covid! Dc was lit post Covid even a year ago!
