Uber Relocation benefits
Those of you who had to move to San Francisco to work for Uber -- how helpful was the global mobility team in helping you figure out temporary and then permanent housing? Is this an easy process? Would love to hear experiences. On that note, what's the best neighborhood that's priced low relative to how convenient it is to Uber's offices? Nob hill? This would be my first time in SF, I've been Googling shit but tbh it's been only minimally helpful.
Nob Hill is nice but make sure your actually getting Nob Hill and not the tenderloin (aka lower nob hill, aka tendernob, aka the loin). You want to make sure you get a place above Bush or ideally above Pine. Pack heights is a great area that's a tad more expensive but is quite nice. You can also live much lower in pac heights (like Franklin and Sutter)
> above Bush or ideally above Pine Thank you for the very specific advice! Exactly the sort I was hoping for. The last time I was in SF I took a..bad?...turn and ended up in a street that made me feel a bit nervous. None of the 50 or so "best neighborhoods in San Francisco" listicles I've read so far contain vital info on how to avoid less savory streets, which is priority when you are a small statutured person.
Isn't Uber moving to mission Bay soon? If so that's actually going to be far away from it's current location The irony is that Uber is a pretty bad location (Civic). Just make sure you avoid the tenderloin: Between Van Ness, Mason, Market and Bush. Civic/Soma isn't great either but it has some of the nicest apartments in the city
Thank you!
Just looked up Topia -- is that the service Uber uses?
Relo support was pretty terrible for my move but that isn’t always the case. Hayes Valley, Japantown and the Mission are prob better than having to worry about the Tenderloin imo
In what way? Moving stuff bit or finding a place to live bit? If I'm not happy with the options in presented, are they ok with me just submitting receipts for reimbursement do you know?
Hayes valley is absurdly expensive and Japan Town is a tad far away. Mission is super nice.
Ok but Valencia is cush
I love Mission
Hey @vidkid, I believe you will have took up and relocated by now. How's your experience thus far?
OP, I guess you are already at Uber right? Does Uber give relocation fee for your move?
Where are you moving from ??
I've been a bit nomadic in the recent past so i don't have too much stuff -- but I am technically moving from a different country. Edit: I have a cat though, who is currently living with a friend in the US and I need to figure out how to get her to me, which tbh doesn't sound too complicated, but it is my first priority.
Cool, are you a US citizen ?
