That lifestyle is possible in SV too .. it's a matter of how you choose priorities. At www.compilerworks.com we are purposefully bootstrapped to enable a high quality lifestyle (there are 3 of us in the Bay Area and 5 internationally).
- rconti 9y agoI've worked a number of tech jobs in the valley, and while the expected work hours aren't exactly European, I can't really think of a time where I worked weekends other than being on call perhaps 1 week in 4 or 5, and I find the work hours quite regular. Then again, I'm not exactly a game developer.
- nextstep 9y agoI can work in SV and use great, reliable public transportation to get everywhere I want in my life, often in under an hour? And I can have 5 weeks paid vacation per year? I wasn't able to find these things when I lived there...
- fuzzieozzie 9y agoIt exists -- but it is not the norm, especially in VC backed companies. VC demand returns, and prefer to see $100 today compared with $100 in a year's time!
- refurb 9y agoI agree with the public transport, but I live in SV and get 23 days of paid vacation plus 13 stat holidays.
