Moving to bay area from midwest
I have been working here in midwest for few years now and am thinking about moving to bay area. I have masters degree from a reputable university here. I have heard of many stories that it will be challenging to get job at a decent company if you are coming from midwest. How true is this and what areas should i focus on while I apply to companies in the west?
Can’t speak for everyone but definitely not me
Sorry, we're at capacity. Please try again next year.
Cost of living and quality of life in the bay is going to suck compared to the Midwest. Get ready to make money and feel broke and good luck finding a place to live.
If your masters isn't in CS from Stanford GTFO
Odd. Why is that? Stanford isn't the end all be all.
Wife and I moved here from Chicago. Living comfortably in SF. If you’re good at what you do and socially adept, you’ll be fine.
I can over from Wisconsin a few years back and frankly unless you're in Chicago, the job market is incomparable. Midwest personally I've found you run into problems finding job opportunities at more than a few companies that are at all close to you, whereas the bay take a walk down the street. As for people disliking the Midwest, sure Cal has a certain dislike of anything that's not a coastal state, but I haven't heard any problem really when when it comes to hiring.
Thanks for this positive info
Just don’t say you voted for trump and you will be fine. If you support any other candidates including other republican candidates you are fine too.
Hmm, i guess people think that midwesterners are pro trump dont they?
Aren’t they? I may be wrong but that’s what I thought.
