Little do they know that SV is just as desolate? Most of the big tech firms are 1-2 hours away from SF in suburbia.
- Grishnakh 10y agoNot only that, but isn't there a massive shortage of single women there? I guess the Millennials aren't interested in dating....
- adrianm 10y agoWhat does this have to do with anything? And why do you assume all "Millenials" in tech are either male or exclusively interested in women?
- tdb7893 10y agoHe's talking about millenials who work in tech and he assumes it because the vast majority are straight men, which is why there is the "lack of women there" to begin with.
- gist 10y agoIf you are a man (dating wise) it's better to be in NYC (Honestly don't know anything about San Diego). If you are a woman it's better to be in SV or SF.
- Grishnakh 10y ago>If you are a man (dating wise) it's better to be in NYC Yes, but then the problem there is there aren't a lot of tech jobs in NYC that aren't soul-crushing finance jobs.
- CalRobert 10y agoYou're getting downvoted but this is a practical concern. The large military presence also skews things.
- ryguytilidie 10y agoCan you name one "big tech firm" that is 2 hour away from SF?
- rm_-rf_slash 10y agoApple, depending on traffic or how you get there.
- honkhonkpants 10y ago^^^ exactly! People just don't understand how bad the traffic and transportation systems around here can be, especially the northbound evening commute hours. My choice would have been IBM though, being as far as I can recall the most distant major tech campus from San Francisco. It's 90 minutes by car or 3 hours by train.
- FT_intern 10y agonobody moves to the bay area to work for IBM
- alexcarroll 10y agoHad a couple colleagues when I lived in Austin leave for SF to work for IBM...
- honkhonkpants 10y agoI think it's safe to say that literally thousands of people have moved to the Bay Area for work for IBM.
- pound 10y agoSouth Bay is 1-2 hours from SF, pretty much any company in San Jose can be 2 hours from SF depending on traffic
