Hi all,

I am going to apply for a senior software engineer position at Doordash and wonder are there differences between SF and NYC offices. If yes, which one do you prefer? Which teams will have interesting/ better tech to apply for?

      SF is a trashcan, currently trying to move to nyc. more night life and cleaner (yes cleaner than SF). NYC has non-aggressive homeless, less crime, no poop on streets, no needles. You can actually go out at night and feel safe. Look up recent poll on blind about people feeling safe to go out in SF. there are some pros to SF like weather but pretty much it.

  • Nyc only has some product teams which are okay at best, but there are quite some folks who work remotely from NYC and in SF teams. NYC city is much better though.

    You can interview with SF teams and talk with the hiring manager if they are open to remote work from NYC.

      The position i am interviewing for is actually in NYC. I am so surprised that most of the votes will go for NYC :)
      Maybe I will see you there soon :)

    In terms of teams sf is prob better
    In terms of city - especially if you live in NYC - NY all the way
    On top of that - lots of teams are assigned per vertical but collaborate on projects all the time.
    Especially e5 and up

    You will get to work in many teams with other teams and other efforts. If you want and are capable.

    It’s where you live and spend 2/3 of your life outside work.
    As a city - from my friends who lived in both - all prefer ny except one. Who can’t take the winters
