I’ll be joining Facebook. I hate traffic so I plan to rent a 1 bedroom near the office and take advantage of the $15k bonus for living within 10 miles of the office. What are the differences between the areas around the office. What should one look for in a place? My base is $125k. RSUs are $55k. How much would you spend on rent if you were me? Also why is shared laundry even a thing in the US?
Get ready to be amazed at how much rent will cost you! Anywhere close to Facebook, Google or Apple is either expensive or a shithole. Decide what’s more important to you - money or a nice place to live. Most choose money and try not to spend much time at home 😂
Redwood City, if you can find a place within the 10-mile radius.
Fremont for more reasonable rent, it also qualifies for the 10 mile bonus.
Look at their shuttle routes and go north. Redwood City, Redwoof Shores, San Carlos.
Can someone please post all the FB shuttle routes and timings?
Your recruiter can send them to you.
Also: Ahlan wa Sahlan!
Not East Palo Alto. Mountain View is nice. Palo Alto May be pretty expensive for a 1 bed. Wouldn’t spend more than $3k What’s your role?
Thanks, I’ll be an enterprise engineer.
E Palo Alto is ineligible anyways
