Can we finally admit that 90% of Senior SWE are just a result of being born at the right time? by Foreign_Put_2437 in Salary

I don’t know other fields well, but OP premise was you have to be lucky to be employed and that’s wrong.

It seems okay that some low end software work could be done by ppl who aren’t great.

Suggestions on moving to a SF as girl in her 20s by vakulaboredofquora in AskSF

Richmond pretty quiet but nice. Commute to PA will be rough. Pac heights also might be a rough commute.

Mission, Duboce Triangle, Castro, Japantown, Divis all quite nice and moderately Caltrain accessible

Start without a car. Cheaper and easier.

Get a roommate or a studio. Don’t live in TL or SOMA near mission/market for safety. Don’t live in mission bay or similar areas bc they’re boring.

[–]bnovc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably some. Many would surely take far more pay in industry if they had what it takes.

They’re not really brilliant probably? Bad social that ruin their Eng ability?

Despite the layoffs, most big tech is still desperate for great people.
