关于湾区气候,在East Bay 生活了5年的我表示挺满意。总体来说这里不会太热也不会太冷。常年穿两件衣服,冬令时厚外套,夏令时薄外套。在太阳底下很热,但到有瓦遮头的地方就一下子不热了。挺舒服的。这里气候比较干燥。混油皮的我曾经在39℃穿着一件长袖blouse考车试没有流一滴汗。只有运动量大的时候才会出汗。从潮湿的广东来到这里,让我爱上了用保湿护肤品。来湾区吧, 这里是一个适宜居住的地方。
科技公司包括Google的comp都是根据location定的,也就是根据cost of labor定的,西雅图的cost of labor低于湾区硅谷所以搬到西雅图会有薪酬的调整,但不排除有些人因为是exception没有薪酬调整。关于气候,湾区太大了,三番、东湾、半岛、南湾的气候非常不一样,最冷的冬天是三番的夏天。。。真的非常冷。。。我在湾区从来都穿不上裙子
How about San Diego(SD)? For generations, Bill Gates and his family have had winter houses just north of San Diego in a town called Rancho Santa Fe. His house is only a 10 minutes drive from my house. I am a retired software engineer with EE background, specialized in embedded real-time systems. Here is my take regarding SD. Adequate job opportunities, best climate in the 48-state and reasonable housing prices. Well, speaking from a west coast housing point of view. When my daughter went to Stanford and visited the Bay Area. I felt like I had to work very hard just to live there. BTW, she went to public schools from elementary to high schools in SD. She is a MD now.
