farmteam Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I've heard amazing things about San Francisco (and the surrounding areas, including Wine Country), save for two things: Cost of Living (it's the most expensive in the country, even more than NYC, isn't it?) and the rainy/crummy weather. Those two things might be enough to deter me from wanting to live there; however, I've never even visited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yeah, from what we've talked about, we'd rather live in SF for the first year just to alleviate the social anxiety, and once we are more comfortable look at the surrounding areas. The rain doesn't bother me so much, as you can drive 30 minutes out and have a nice picnic in 80 degree weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two things might be enough to deter me from wanting to live there; however, I've never even visited. The weather is definitely frustrating, as it is in Chicago. But you learn to deal with it. And there are so many surrounding areas with amazing weather that you can go to, so that helps make up for it. Â It is expensive as hell. But many employers recognize this and pay more as well. I met a few nurses there when I was in town (evil grin) that made $100k, easily. Of course their rent was $2800 a month as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 01:29 PM) So I had a big time interview scheduled for this morning with possible relocation consequences and I was super excited/anxious about it, pretty much kept me up all night. I check my email this morning and turns out the person that was supposed to interview me had to reschedule to Monday because she got sick. Ugh.

HuskyCaucasian Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Followed up on an interview I had a few weeks ago. He said he is writing his review of the interviews for the Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity and as soon as they approve it they will be offering a job to the chosen applicant. he said I am in the top 3.

Yeah, he's got some crazy, crazy stories. Â It's actually quite impressive watching him...we'd be out at a bar, and he would be by far the most hammered among us, completely obnoxious and annoying, and then something would happen...a bar fight between someone else, or a car accident outside, or something that required his presence, and he would immediately snap out of his drunken stupor into FBI mode. He'd be talking to the local police, telling them what he did to remedy the situation, and they would seem to have no idea that an hour ago he couldn't have spelled his own name.

The only agency I know of that goes that far back with drug history requirements is DEA. FBI was more lenient. Let's just say, I had to document some things from college too... I was 5 years out of college at the time I started the process, and it was a non-issue. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
