Getting sick of all the pee in the streets and outrageous prices. In the next year or two, I want to live somewhere where my money will go farther. I'd love to own property soon. I LOVE the weather here and I'm amazed at the natural beauty everywhere. I try to go hiking most weekends but I also enjoy the museums and fine dining. I'm a woman in my late 20s and I'd like to keep doing data science. Currently in a relationship (prob not a forever one) and I plan to remain childfree for life. I've already lived in Brooklyn and Boston and don't have any interest in going back to the Northeast. I really really wanted to love Austin but almost croaked from the heat. Any good tech jobs in LA or SD? I would consider Seattle and Portland though I'm worried about the crappy weather. Maybe Denver? Raleigh? I don't know!!!
Marry someone working in valley and you both can buy property with 300k+ salaries.
I'm also interested in hearing about the best data scientist jobs in LA/SD/etc
She said she likes natural beauty and hiking. There is precious little of that around Austin.
Austin was my top choice til I went there and experienced the heat. It's got the best combo of jobs, fun and affordable housing but it would be tough. Maybe your body gets used to it eventually?
Denver. Winters are mild here and no pee in the streets. Although if we keep growing it'll eventually happen ha
Ha. But there is 6 months of snow too.
6 months is an overstatement. Most of the winter there is no snow down on the front range, only in the mountains. When it snows down here, it melts the next day 90% of the time. We might have a couple weeks total of actual snow spread out over 3 or 4 months and even then it is 40 to 60 degrees in between those days lol
My company is hiring data scientists for our newly opened LA office https://jobs.lever.co/kensho/21c83f67-c9c2-4826-9a94-ab5458800d2b. Feel free to ask any qs. Good luck with your search!
Cool! What does your company do? Do you like LA?
We provide analytics software, powered by a graph database that connects global events and the assets they impact, to the top US banks, media companies and government agencies. We also use the technology internally to construct new company classifications: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2016/08/08/introducing-the-kensho-new-economy-indices.html I love LA. The vibe in the beach towns is much different from Hollywood/weho/Beverly Hills. The people, weather, lifestyle, food, comedy shows, and music scene are all great. If traffic is the biggest downside of a city, life is pretty good. Plus, if you work and live on the west side (which I recommend), you rarely encounter traffic. And when you do, just throw on a podcast and learn something new.
I love sf
We are hiring
I've done this search before. Outside of Bay Area, Seattle, NYC, and Boston there's not a lot of interesting work - certainly not square level. My recommendation is to ask your manager to let you be remote.
I know this post is a couple months old, but in case you're still looking: Nike (in Portland/Beaverton) is building out its data science capabilities pretty aggressively right now. Go search "data science" on the Nike jobs site to see some examples of open roles.
There's going to be pee on the street in any big city. South bay has significantly less pee on the street. I lived in Seattle for a couple years. I love the city and the outdoor opportunities close by but damn the winters are brutal if you are like me and need to see the sun every once in a while.
Boston is immaculate compared to SF! Moving from there to here was shocking. Yeah I'm worried I wouldn't do well with the winters in Seattle as someone who suffers from seasonal depression but it can't be as bad as Boston?
