Anyone here work in the Bay area but have family/home in SoCal and go home on weekends?
Can't move the family up for a year due to personal reasons. Heard there are folks who commute between NorCal and SoCal for better jobs and opportunities. Looking for some advice and tips. Thanks!
Dated long distance like this for a year. Every other Friday I’d leave work to the airport, arrive around 8pm, and leave again Monday morning, going straight to work from the airport. It’s not too bad for a relationship, but kids could be tough. However, it’s not exactly uncommon in history for men to have to separate from their families temporarily to give them a better life.
Literally the story of many immigrant families
Really reassuring, in this exact scenario with my SO right now and glad it's manageable for at least that amount of time. I've been doing essentially the same (flying up every other week).
That's great to hear. I wish I had that flexibility. Some health issues prevent us from making the move and I have been out of work for 8 months before finding this gig so can't wait for a year.
Least you’ll get lots of miles. Flying back and forth would be expensive, but maybe could even out given it’s cheaper COL in SoCal.
Thanks all for sharing your perspectives. I really appreciate it. Health insurance and other benefits will put my family in a great position. . Hoping I would build enough equity to steal a remote week every now and then
Not ideal but more common than you think.
What is the package? What company? Just be aware most equity packages have a one year cliff for first year vesting
I know a few people who made it work, personally I would wait a year and move with the family. Work can wait family is more important
