In reply to#9030
I've been computer programmer in Silicon Valley for almost a decade. And it's really not all that it's cracked up to be. A lot of these jobs are ultra competitive. So basically, if you aren't a top performer, you're going to eventually get laid off. And then trying to find an employer that will pay you what your previous one did becomes really challenging.

And if that's not enough, you have to deal with 1 to 2 hour commutes to and from work. In addition, the rent here is probably one of the highest in the nation.

Then comes the high school drama. A lot of these tech firms act like an all male fraternity. And if that's not enough, there are a lot of neighborhoods that reek of white privilege.
