Question about women in their 30âs?
Will you choose San Francisco or Seattle for a new engineering position at Amazon
Also no income tax here and rent is half San Francisco.
No income tax? Wtf
@aetos thereâs no State income tax. Only federal
SFO has abundant meetups where you can see true experts who you follow on blogs. Seattle tech scene is ok but not so hot.
Seattle tech scene is a bunch of hipsters exploring all the buzz words. No real depth of knowledge or understanding of tech . Bay Area has a vibrant tech culture. Infact they are proud to be the hub for technology Seattle on the other hand is always pissed that it is being converted to a hub for technology. You tell locals you work as a techie and they give you weird looks.
If you don't mind sidestepping literal human shit and paying half your tc for living accommodations sf.
You will have no long term prospect in SF. If I'd choose, go Seattle, no-brainer
What a piece of crap advice . Sf has a lot more friendly and developed suburbs
You donât have to live in the city. Seattle has Kirkland . Whatâs the long term prospect of living there ? And I hope you were referring to just living standards cos if you mean sf has no long term career prospects then LOL .
None
SF, easier to switch job once you realize that you don't like Amazon
Lol savage! đđœ
Iâll Choose none !! Expensive living!
Seattle until u get promoted! Then Bay Area đ
Why until you get promoted?
Seattle is good if you like the nature , donât care about a nightlife because you have a family and are okay with no sun and a disgusting weather for 9 months in a year . Also, Seattle has mid to large size companies only . If corporate slavery is your thing then it is a good place to live and switch jobs . The startup scene is better at other places like Bay Area , Austin Also just outright weird and cold locals too ! đ
Cold locals in bay area or seattle?
Bay Area. Although Seattle is more liberal , Bay is more immigrant friendly because of their diversity . Locals in Seattle are weird and cold because they did not expect to see so much diversity in their city in their lifetime and also because tech drove their retail through the roof. Heck Iâd be a sour apple too if I were them . ( obviously this is a generic statement. Some locals are fantastic and some arenât , itâs just that bad dishes of the sea overpower or run into you more than the good fishes )
Seattle. All decisions happen here.
How the place of making decisions matter for the one who will implement those decisions ?
