I remember my first trip to Silicon Valley in 1999. I have been to San Francisco before, but never outside the city. I had a job interview in Sunnyvale (I believe). Was super-excited since I loved San Francisco. As soon as I started driving in my rental car from SJC, I was shocked at the surroundings. I simply assumed SV was like SF.
I got the job offer, but rejected it. Never been back to SV until last year (not counting SJ). I actually live in California, but I will never move to the Bay Area.
- dasil003 14y agoMight want to take a look at north bay just to give yourself a good overall impression before jumping to that conclusion.
- donretag 14y agoWhat constitutes the north bay? I've been to Marin and Sonoma counties and like them both. I go to SF every now and then, but I just never stop in SV although I drive through it. My priorities are different from 1999. And while I no longer wish to live in SF, I am still avoiding SV. The primary reason is price.
