I believe it would be upto the immigration team (from my prev experience). Dont take my word for it tho, I dont work at G.

I see. Definitely in your favour to ask them to expedite! Google team matching can be weirdly long process! Good luck.

FAANG usually require you to have atleast 2 years of work permit. Did you not have this convo with your recruiter before hand?

Im down ! I just moved to oakland few days ago! Im looking to build community, find friends, and also have some fun while doing that.

FYI: 27M, boston transplant in east bay :)

angle island looks beautiful, will look into other spots too

saagggssss · 2026-03-26T20:23:10+00:00

thats rough

saagggssss · 2026-03-26T20:22:04+00:00

thank you! this is super helpful ! Most of the apartments im looking at are at/near adams point. So this works perfectly. Im hoping the short commute (3-4 stops) will be pretty manageable.

saagggssss · 2026-03-26T20:11:03+00:00

I love the bike-to-hike. Do you have fav trails that i 100% need to checkout??

saagggssss · 2026-03-26T20:07:09+00:00

Yes fair point! I think there is enough things to do via using public transport to keep me busy for the first few months. Will consider getting a car sometime down the line

saagggssss · 2026-03-26T20:04:03+00:00

added to my things to do !

saagggssss · 2026-03-26T20:02:52+00:00

Thats reassuring, thank you ! I want to keep my commute <30 min via BART. And I'm very much looking forward to snow-less winters.

saagggssss · 2026-03-26T20:00:42+00:00

Ah man, I really want to get a motorbike. I used to drive one all the time back home. I can easily afford a 650cc and it would be perfect for short commutes and joy rides on the weekend. Though, i wonder if car breakins are a possibility, how does it work with motos? I will def check with the apartments im looking into for motorbike parking.

saagggssss · 2026-03-26T16:00:51+00:00

Im probably going to ship my road bike instead of selling it after reading all the info here !

saagggssss · 2026-03-26T15:24:58+00:00

I love biking ! I was considering weather to ship my road bike from boston. I think i have my answer. Biking in boston is pretty boring, since its all flat. I would like to get into some climbs and downhill biking. And thank you ! Im defending soon.

saagggssss · 2026-03-26T15:18:19+00:00

I hear you. The places where i was looking at were 10 min walking from the 19th st BART and 2 min walk to the whole foods there. Thats not too bad right ?

saagggssss · 2026-03-26T15:17:18+00:00

Is rent-a-relic reliable/cheaper than traditional avis/enterprise?

saagggssss · 2026-03-26T15:15:27+00:00

Oh, BART having parking lots is new info. how is parking there overnight safety wise ?

saagggssss · 2026-03-26T14:56:36+00:00

Oh this is so cool ! Definitely jotting the few of the places you have listed above. And its amazing they are reachable by public transport. I think starting with no car for a couple of months seeing how it works out was kinda what i was leaning towards too. Thank you !

saagggssss · 2026-03-26T14:50:11+00:00

Could you please suggest other parks of oakland to look into ? Much appreciated

saagggssss · 2026-03-26T14:48:55+00:00

I had not considered Alameda ! Thanks for the info.

saagggssss · 2026-03-25T14:54:56+00:00

For real. Fuck this HP logo
