Can 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
- corysama 10y agoI work in SF near the Transamerica Pyramid. Sometimes I go to meetups at or near Samsung in Mountain View. I have to leave at 5 to get there by 6:45 if I'm lucky. And, that's after finding lower-traffic routes. Otherwise, half of the trip is just getting through the city.
- gregatragenet3 10y agoMost of them are near a 2 hour drive, if you are anywhere around commute hours and you live in a typical (not right off the freeway) area in SF. To name a couple, Intel and Cisco.
