"Cali OKPs - I need a job! Help! 😊"


  

          

Looks like we are moving to the Bay Area! 😊. My hubby got an offer with a company in San Ramon. 😊. Now we just need to sell our house, find a 2 bedroom condo in the area, and move cross country by Nov. Oh, and I need a job! I am looking to get back to work as a paralegal. So I'm going to be on indeed and LinkedIn like crazy!

😊

So, what should we look out for? We have a 3 yr old so we need a good school district or a good private school recommendation.

Honestly, I don't know. It might be my apple computer.

Don't know law well but someone I know here just left a firm. She might know some things.


Do you know what area that you are moving to? Is your hubby's job in san fran?
Are you coming out here before moving?

Most likely we will fly out next month to check out the area.

My hubby's job is actually in San Ramon. So, he is open to a 30 minute or so commute.

I am not opposed to commuting either, but I would like to be not too far from home because I want to be able to reach my 3 year old in case of an emergency.

bridge

a half hour commute to San Ramon would get you to Berkeley

which would be my suggestion

unless you need to live in a cultural center (oakland) i would say eff it and just look in san ramon, but with your job search in mind i would instead look to live in dublin to be near bart in case you end up having to commute to sf for work, which sucks doing by car. walnut creek is another option if you can afford it

all of these places leave something to be desired in terms of culture, but they are comfy communities to live and have families in

both are suburbs, so they are what they are. if you're willing to sacrifice for a longer commute, and have some real bucks to spend, of course oakland is the best place to live in the area. but thats another post

walnut creek: larger, more businesses, more white (but not totally white like some would have you believe), more expensive, closer to oakland by a touch, farther from san ramon by a touch

dublin: more black folks, newer mall, real imax, less expensive, smaller/fewer businesses, farther from oakland by a touch, closer to san ramon by a touch

basically walnut creek is slightly more of a "city" and likely has the better school district and more cultural resources, but is certainly more expensive, and is known for being sort of white and uppity, although there are other folks there in real life. both are on a bart line, which as i mentioned i think is important (which is also why san ramon itself is out).

Thanks. Any feedback that you guys give is such a help. I think we are going to make a trip out there next month around my birthday to see for myself. 😊.
