Yar. Also looking for SMBs for user studies.
Have examples of work (design portfolio or git repo for a dev). One of the design roles could be junior if you had a good portfolio and experience with social media marketing. The other ones are not good fits for new grads.Any tips on starting out like for example, any entry level positions ? or does that not exists
I'm currently going to University in SF. If you can give me some tips for getting a summer internship there, I would appreciate it.Yar. Also looking for SMBs for user studies.

How fast you get a job is highly dependent on A. Who you know and B. How hard you search.How easy is it to just get a minimum wage job in SF ?
Let's say that you move to the city, how fast would someone find a job
The plan if I were to move is get a coliving room, cheapest that I've seen around $600 for a bed with roommates. Not the best but it is what it is, I have customer service experience but going to college is the plan as wellHow fast you get a job is highly dependent on A. Who you know and B. How hard you search.
For a minimum wage job, I'd like to say that it wouldn't be too hard. I've had a few jobs lined up in San Francisco that paid minimum wage. If you're thinking of moving to SF on a minimum wage job, I don't think that's a good idea.
If you're comfortable with doing that, do so.The plan if I were to move is get a coliving room, cheapest that I've seen around $600 for a bed with roommates. Not the best but it is what it is, I have customer service experience but going to college is the plan as well
I'm 23, I have some money saved up for the move or wherever I end up going.If you're comfortable with doing that, do so.
I'm going to college in SF and I have to share a room with someone. Do I like it? No. But I am barely in the room because I have so many things to do in the city that I'd be wasting time being in there all of the time. Doesn't help that my roommate repels any sane humans..
If you do anything, don't get into a place with just college students. If you're older, you'll realize how much they don't know and how little they have their shit together.
You're probably going to have multiple jobs. Likely two Part-Time jobs and another App-based service. I worked retail and did delivery services through Postmates and that put enough money on the table for me to have left over money at the end of the month.
In fact, I'm looking for a new job now. The best time to look for jobs is in late April and May because all of the transplant college students will be leaving their jobs to go back home during the summer, which is something I won't be doing.
Leaning towards yes
I pay $1,400 a month for my room at my campus, but a little under half of that expense is covered by my school's financial aid.I'm 23, I have some money saved up for the move or wherever I end up going.
How much do you you pay in rent if you don't mind me asking.
I'm interested learning how someone that is young and still able to do it in SF.
Definitely, because the cheapest option available is renting a bed in a dorm type of setting. But maybe it can be the stepping stone to better things. If it let's say $700 to $800 a month with all utilities. SF has the highest minimum wage I believe so it's not that hard to make it, somehow anything is possible.I pay $1,400 a month for my room at my campus, but a little under half of that expense is covered by my school's financial aid.
If I move out, I could easily pay for a single room for $850 - $950 in a decent area.
There's plenty of people my age that manage on their own in this city, I have friends that do it.
Sometimes checks are tight, but the overall quality of living makes it wonders better. I love the city. I've adopted to it and it's my second home in this large world.
To say you've experienced this city and its people first hand living here is a privilege in its own.
Despite the amount of money its cost me, it is the best life investment I've made.
Crazy. I let my cousin know. He's an SF cop. Apparently they are already aware.
It very much depends on what part of SF you end up moving to, specifically. When I looked at Glen Park, street parking was free with permit, so you just had to purchase the permit (significant, but not huge cost), and then you'd be fine. My sister lived in Outer Richmond and it was fine too. Other places street parking is nonexistent and you'll have to pay to park, which is what we do now anyways. If you want garage parking regardless expect to pay for it.If you don’t live in a house and rent instead, do you pay to park your car ?
I have my own car and was wondering if I decide to move to SF what are my options ?

Haha nice! I’m in Almaden.
Haha nice that’s the old military base. Gets so windy up there!You might find this interesting. My two trips to the Golden Gate Bridge 2010 vs 2018. Pics are taken from basically the same spot:
I suppose so, to the extent that you don't need a car to get around SF for the most part. To be honest, if you're paying SF rent then I can't imagine that the cost of garage parking being a huge impediment to your lifestyle. It's not cheap but it's not that expensive either.

I come from it on the opposite end. If you're paying that much for rent you really don't have much money to go elsewhere.I suppose so, to the extent that you don't need a car to get around SF for the most part.

Yeah, I mean to be blunt you're gonna need to probably pony up for that garage parking. Either that or find some place to park it away from the City and only use it when you need to. TBH I haven't used my car at all in the 4 months I've lived in SF SF (lived on the Peninsula prior to that). I mean, yeah, I've driven it to go hiking a couple of times, but I would have already given my car up if it weren't pretty much brand new.Yeah because I’m financing a car right now and if I were to move to sf, it would be where cohousing is possible.
So I guess I would have to figure it out somehow
damn, the downfall of having a new car. It's expected as sf has a lot of people using public transportation, I guess maybe I could uber/lyft as a second job to pay for the garageYeah, I mean to be blunt you're gonna need to probably pony up for that garage parking.

I think we all came up with the same answer phrased in different ways. The bottom line is having a car in SF is unnecessary unless you have specific need for a car due to job, family, hobbies. In that sense it is a luxury. Depending on where you live, you may be able to find street parking manageable as long as you are diligent about moving your car on street cleaning days (set calendar reminders, that's what my sister did). Otherwise, you will have to pay to garage your car, and the cost is gonna be about 150-200 dollars a month.
Are you dead set on living in SF? Having a car outside of the city is much easier, and also allows you to enjoy/make use of it on the weekends driving elsewhere in the bay.damn, the downfall of having a new car.

If I go to sf, I hope to attend city college which is I guess outside.. I think is kinda outside of the city but the super cheap dorm like cohousing seems to only be near the main city part (terderloin) I think that’s what it’s calledAre you dead set on living in SF?

City College SF has several campuses, one of which is downtown. If you're gonna live near the Downtown campus, you're gonna want to garage your car. TBH, the downtown campus is like right next to the Powell Street Bart, as well as generally next to the nexus that is Civic Center BART (for Muni), so you could live practically anywhere in the city and get there easy.If I go to sf, I hope to attend city college which is I guess outside..

These are the BART stations that are around SF. If you use a combination of BART and Muni, you should be okay. If your job is in Financial District, NoMA or SoMa, just take BART and use a scooter, or something of the likes.Ah, should probably ask this here.
I currently live in East Bay and I'm looking for an apartment closer to my SF job, likely in Oakland. I don't know that area too well, so if I'm looking for a place close to BART, what's safe yet not too expensive? I make less than $100 thousand.
I don't own a car and I don't intend to buy one.
Wow you went and beyond with the help, I truly appreciate that.

As for what places in SF are cheaper, it depends on what you're looking for. Are you looking to share a room or have your own place? If you want your own place, you're going to find it difficult to find an entire apartment under 1,400/mo in all of the areas listed, but if you're looking for a room, you can easily find one as low as $600/mo, which to me, is a killer deal.
If you don't mind a small commute, maybe you could get a place in South SF or San Bruno. My brother used to commute from there to downtown to his job using BART and it didn't take him very long.
Anyways, I'm not sure if any of this helps, but there you go.
Also, why rent in Oakland when you can rent in some parts of SF for similar prices with the convenience of location?
I thought what I did was just minimal.Wow you went and beyond with the help, I truly appreciate that. The plan is to rent with multiple people, as long as it’s super cheap I think I should be able to live good enough
You're looking at cohousing type of room rent, right ? those are the only type of places that seem cheapI thought what I did was just minimal.
If youryo going to rent with multiple people, you should be good. I'm planning on moving out of my place to somewhere else in SF, so I've been looking.
Right now, I'm seeing that an average room in a so, so area and building is $650 and a bigger room in a nicer area is about $850.
It sucks to have a car because I have to take in consideration the parking.
As somebody who values convenience the most you should live in San Jose if you have access to a car, and SF otherwise. (or really anywhere along the Caltrain). If you have access to a car there's no reason to do the 1 hour commute. Caltrain is pretty good most of the time (there are a few days here and there where it's not), but it isn't super reliable later on at night and it's pretty far from San Jose to SF -- so you'd need to really time your commute right to get on the expresses.hey sfbayera
im looking for housing in the area and was wondering if i should suck it up, get a place in the city, and deal with the 1 hr commute, or if i should get something closer (im working down south in santa clara)
how is the caltrain for commuting? the company im at this summer has a shuttle from sf to sc, but im pretty sure its limited space so im trying to scout this out before i commit
it just seems like there's so much more to do in the city compared to what's down there, and i wouldn't trust myself to drag myself up on the weekends
any thoughts on this?
