This. The major reason why I live in SOMA, and put up with all the significant downsides of that neighborhood, is because it means my commute is very short. It also means I have significant job and networking opportunities within a 30 minute _walk_ from home.
When I was last looking for a new role, I didn't even consider anything outside of SF.
- Tade0 7y agoI mulled over this for a while and figured that I should be grateful. This whole situation appears to be lifting IT salaries all over the world. I'm currently in the middle of switching jobs and found that I sneer at positions that pay less than ~$50k (in Poland at that) or don't offer fully remote work. So, I guess, thank you?
- randycupertino 7y agoPolska! I am Polish (3rd gen removed) and was recently in Krakow for a work/fun trip and fantasized about moving there for a year or so and working remote for a while to learn the language and explore the country. Could keep my Bay Area salary as long as kept US hours for conference calls etc. We hire remote IT as well- lmk if you're interested in connecting!
- Tade0 7y agoSure - how can I reach you? If you want to reach me try: hand at wringing.it My GitHub handle is the same as my HN handle.
