I would include more cities on this list. For starters, LA/NY/Boston/Seattle. The software scene in Los Angeles is great right now. I don't have first-hand knowledge of the other cities but they definitely have the reputation of being great for developers.
- joncrane 8y agoI'm not going to lie, after reading articles and comments like these, I appreciate living in the DC area more and more. There is really great hiking all around, a plethora of cool people to hang out with and things to do, and it's not ridic expensive (It's just normal expensive. Maybe bordering on ridic at times). The only thing I hate is the traffic, but it's not too hard to find a job that allows you very flexible scheduling (basically, the policy everywhere I've been is that "core hours are 10-2, be here during that time unless it's your telework day; pick a schedule and stick to it, try to make it to the office as much as possible, and work about 8 hours a day and definitely 40 hours a week.") This allows almost anyone to optimize for their commute and get on with their lives.
- synaesthesisx 8y agoAgreed - LA seems to have an incredible amount of opportunity right now (but with better weather, and overall better quality of life than SF). Unless of course you have a long commute...
