I was thinking of planning to move to Bay area since 2019. when i started applying for those Driverless/Robotic car startups in the begining of this year i had a couple of interviews at Waymo and Zoox and didn’t make it through the final rounds of interviews.

I never heard back from nuro or Cruise not sure why. Uber ATG had a HR phone screen and then got back to me in April saying Hiring freeze.

I am just wondering about the Job market for these Robo Taxi/Delivery Start ups in Bay area, Do you think if this will improve by end of this year? I’m tired of working in East Coast, I want the Cali life. #interview #auto #career

    I wouldn’t move to the Bay Area for Uber. Don’t make the same mistake as a lot of people who are about to get laid off.

      I’m in the bay and would not recommend either. High expenses of living cost for those in early to mid 20s, unless you’re making at least 80k-100k a year though. But if you’re in New York, then you’re probably used to the cost of living. However, I must say there’s a lot of opportunities out here. I relocated to Bay Area not by choice, but bc the job is situated here. No one can beat the California weather btw.

      I work at ATG, and while we are in hiring freeze last layoffs we were one of the least affected. Not saying you should do it or not, just passing up the info.

    How much do you value having the opportunity to own property?

    What's your definition of Cali life? I was thinking more SoCal with Tech when I got to the Bay, man was I wrong.

      A friend of mine visited from atl and goes “where are all the hot girls driving Ferraris?”
      “It’s in this suburb called Los Angeles about six hours south”

    California is not pleasant compared to the east coast. The natural areas are arid, the populated areas areas are covered in homeless people, and the cost-of-living is terrible. Don’t move here unless the money is very compelling

    If you have a solid job, keep it for now. Wait out this one unless you want to take a massive risk.
