    Honestly they both smell the same at this point. So really when you walk down the sidewalk would you rather step in frozen human feeces or 70* human feeces

    SF office vs MTV office is a very different vibe. They're far enough apart to be fairly separate.

    SF office has advantage of live in the city, but smaller, fewer amenities and teams.

    MTV is the big kahuna but 80% converted office park and south bay is suburban hell.

    Haven't been to NY office but I hear it's huge (much bigger than sf) and great location.

    I worked at both. NYC by far. However with wfh, I would opt for where you wanna live vs which office to work in.

      If you plan to live in SF and bus to MTV that commute sucks. I also wouldn't live in South Bay if you are young and single.

      The campus vibes are very different. MTV is like a stale college campus. I felt like a number.

      NYC vibe is more mature, people dress well, food is good, office is smaller but views are amazing.
