I completely agree with the gist of this article - taking a risk right now as an engineer is in no way dangerous. Not saying it won't be 12 months or even 6 months from now and taking a risky job can set you up for a bad time later.
That being said, for those of us who are hiring engineers, this should be a great opportunity to bring in some of the folks who are more risk adverse because it is safer.
Also, I'm not sure what the author is talking about with regards to murder rates. Unless I am missing something this map [1] seems to suggest there have been 7 homicides in SF total this year, which is a pittance for a major city.

- blaines 14y agoYes strictly looking at the murders SF has seven, for comparison, my hometown (150k pop.) in the middle of nowhere has six murders. Chicago has five times more people than SF and I know without checking sources there's been more murders in Chicago, probably in January alone, than in San Francisco yet this year. People who say San Francisco is unsafe are out of touch. It's no Pepperidge Farm, and it's not out of control. When was the last time, in San Francisco, someone saw a gang of sixteen year olds with loaded guns walking the streets a block away from school? That's daily life for some in Chicago.
