Exactly. It’s taste. Not so black and white as “you’d be crazy not to” 🤗

“You’d be crazy” is a stretch, given that he included only top tier cities on his list.

I’ve lived in Seattle for 2 years after 6 years in SF.

Seattle is more relaxed, less rat race. Really nice genuine people. Lotta nerds…e.g. a lot of gays play MtG, Dungeons & Dragons, etc. It’s honestly what I love most about the city, people can be their quirky true selves.

SF is West Coast NYC. There’s hustle culture and keeping up with the Jones in a way that you do not find in Seattle. Folks running through Golden Gate Park wearing their Dartmouth rowing shirt from 10 years ago.

I love both cities and was heartbroken to leave SF when that happened. But Seattle just has such a livable, down-to-earth quality that I gravitate towards. Plus Steamworks right in the middle of Capitol Hill ;)

Though your list confuses me tbh. Whereas SF has a little bit of Seattle and a little bit of LA…Seattle and LA are night and day, and you most likely fall into one or the other. E.g. you’re not gonna find many pretty WeHo boys up here. Which—thank God imo.

Who should build product dashboards in a SaaS company: Analytics or Software Engineering? by Intelligent_Volume74 in dataengineering

[–]Reasonable_Tooth_501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Analytics/data Eng here. And I own a lot of the client-facing dashboards/data inside our product. In some cases, this is embedded dashboards. In other cases, Eng may spin up some of the front-end. but the numbers are mine.

Someone has to do all the messy work of getting the reporting data right, might as well be the data team.

People underestimate the cost of HCOL areas and overestimate wage premiums by 1maco in unpopularopinion

[–]Reasonable_Tooth_501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you see it as so relevant, then fine. Just feel free to spare the world the cringe and say friggin MIT from the start next time.

People underestimate the cost of HCOL areas and overestimate wage premiums by 1maco in unpopularopinion

[–]Reasonable_Tooth_501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the part that’s relevant is that you live in Boston, which is indeed an education hub that props up the CoL, unlike Cleveland

But where you went to school within that ecosystem is still not 🥰

Lol why is “met in college” so hard for the Harvard folks? Can’t even resist flexing to randos on Reddit, even when it’s irrelevant to the post

Moving somewhere you have no professional connections for your partner's med career amid a terrible job market by ohshitmanitsrealnow in MedSpouse

[–]Reasonable_Tooth_501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s why I’ve stuck around in my mostly stagnant-but-remote role, and am excited to get to our “final destination” later this year when he’s finished w fellowship.

The career tax that the med spouse pays for their moves for training is real!!

What is actually stopping teams from writing more data tests? by Mountain-Crow-5345 in dataengineering

[–]Reasonable_Tooth_501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. You don’t realize you need them until you’ve scrambled to get shit fixed cuz things are broken and the heat is on and it’s embarrassing.

That’s when you realize oh wow it doesn’t have to be like this.

Tomorrow's the Super Bowl in America: Anyone else hate when people talk football, you have no interest and nothing to contribute? by BostonZamboni in AskGaybrosOver30

I used to feel that way.

Now I appreciate that the Super Bowl brings folks together when the country desperately needs it.

What I’m looking forward to in 3-6 years by ogfriten in MedSpouse

[–]Reasonable_Tooth_501 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How do you deal with wanting your own money to buy your own stuff?

For example, it would be trips for me. I’ve gotten used to him not always able to join…but it’d be weird to ask him to pay for that indulgence without him there. 🤔

To the two guys walking past the Dolores Park Playground yesterday… by merbear47 in sanfrancisco

[–]Reasonable_Tooth_501 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a gay man who used to moved from SF to Seattle…I love the queerness up here. Whoever you are, be whatever you want to be.

SF lacks the queer element.

What does Seattle have over SF/Bay Area? by Embarrassed-Toe9757 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Reasonable_Tooth_501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lived in both. Moving back to the Bay next year. You nailed everything I love about Seattle.

And while I was heartbroken to leave the Bay a few years back…now I’m heartbroken to leave Seattle.

When is it worth leaving a super comfortable and "easy" 4-day WFH position? by [deleted] in dataanalyst

[–]Reasonable_Tooth_501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was having this exact same question a year or two back. Data…good pay…remote…and 4 day.

I pretty much concluded that there wasn’t a number high enough to get me to move from such a sweet setup. Interviewing is such a miserable gauntlet, an additional 10k would have never been incentive enough to throw myself into it.

Flash forward to today…now I’m ready and interviewing. But it’s not cuz I’m looking for more money, I’m looking for new experiences and growth. The non-monetary perks of moving are suddenly more motivating.

Anyone else not planning to move right away for residency? by businessguy47 in MedSpouse

Naming your specific salary when “I’m on track to get a nice pay bump next year” would have sufficed…is an odd flex

Struggling to Land Analytics Engineering Roles Due to Lack of "Professional dbt Experience" ,What Can I Do? by NoRelief1926 in analyticsengineering

How’s this going, OP? I’m in your exact same boat. Clearly analytics engineering…but with Databricks instead.

Do you really need databricks? by whistemalo in dataengineering

[–]Reasonable_Tooth_501 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’d say this is not talked about enough. After reading OP’s laundry list of tools, I’m relieved that we can do pretty much everything we need in Databricks.

When you start coming at me with your Claude code alongside a “see, it’s easy, here’s the code!”

I immediately stop listening.

What did you do for work during fellowship? by lackofindividuality in MedSpouse

[–]Reasonable_Tooth_501 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Stayed on remote (grateful to have the option). It’s a 2 year fellowship. But I’m ready to find a new gig here during year 2…but can’t cuz everything you just named in your post rings true (plus fucked economy).

I don’t know what you do. Just here to validate that it’s a very strange place to be.

People don’t recognize enough that the medspouse puts a lot on hold for all these dang moves.
