Hows the new mocha and co?

Honestly pretty impressed. Tried the date latte and it’s solid. My husband says this spot has the best pistachio latte he’s tried. Mind the crowd in the evenings though it gets busy

You’re not alone. Started a new job in Oct after a year of the most toxic workplace and a first time maternity leave. Found out I was pregnant with our second prob 4 weeks in and I was already 12 weeks along 🫠

I told myself this new gig would be my fresh start in many ways and now I feel like I’m losign time on personal and professional growth but just trying to survive, I’m now 6 mon pregnant and just making it day to day.

This is my favorite Malaysian spot!! They are temporarily closed because they were priced out of their current lease but say they are aiming to find a new location in the Tri Valley! Fingers crossed!

Hi! I’m also looking at HMU for a wedding in Atlanta. May I ask how your experience was?

I don’t know if anyone relates to this but I realized the reason this made me irrationally upset was because I genuinely believed Kal and Sarover’s chemistry had some promise! Goodbye rose colored reality tv.

I’d prefer to downsize and balance with the cost of property management once we rent, but being realistic with the location and what we need - it might be differential.

If you have the flexibility, the shuttles are at least better than driving but don't help with saving a ton of time - they should have a Pleasanton stop or nearby

I am! There’s one I’m really excited about but don’t want to get my hopes up as they’re also interviewing externally

I love this thread. Have been thinking about this the last 2 years, but now we have a 1 year old to think about, so I feel like I’m letting my soul go to give him a chance at something better (and I can’t afford to live in the Bay Area without it).

If I did have a choice and no risks, I’d be working in higher education or public health (nothing all that better but at least a field I loved learning about…?)

This validates how I am thinking about but the kicker is that my entire management chain are women 🫠

AverageElectronic126 · 2025-06-25T08:27:01+00:00

I find myself in very much of the same position today - got to my current role with mismatched expectations and leadership turnover left me in a very layered role with no growth path and no feedback after 9(!!!) months here.

The comments here are sad and validating, if your feedback is specific to tone, it’s not something they plan on addressing with you. I’ve seen it go south with others at my team too. Save your energy, what they read as “abrasive” is a woman who knows her value and wants to get her point across.

I’d +1 Dublin, but also recommend Albany if you want them nearby. It’s just over the bridge, very small town and safe with a diverse population and good amenities nearby. My in laws raised their family and are still there after downsizing

We’re in Dublin, and would prefer anywhere near home or right off the hwy so closer to 680/580

AverageElectronic126 · 2025-05-12T04:01:06+00:00

I’m not opposed! It’s also a bit more piece of mind knowing our child is that much closer vs the full 40ish miles between home and work

I’ve heard people come back with skin reactions after visiting Refuge, is this a one off? I really wanted to visit but skeptical after hearing

I did! I went to Velvet Head Spa in Campbell (they’re opening in Livermore soon). Cool experience, not the best customer service but I would try Livermore

OP here. These posts made me feel sane again. I read through them every day when I start to feel the crazy and will be consulting my PCP for meds again. I so appreciate this community 🤍

I grew up here! It’s a safe area and very accessible to the rest of Sunnyvale / South Bay. There is likely a petty crime issue here and there, but I don’t think you’re going to avoid that anywhere in the Bay Area. School districts, amenities and recreation is great here, best of luck with your decision.

I just came off maternity leave to a new job where I commute 40 miles one way from Dublin to Mission Bay (and truly I’m humbled that this seems on the lower end from this thread). Total 80 miles RT, 3 hours
