I too am feeling the pull of the Silicon Valley. On Monday I'm flying
down to San Jose to talk to Cisco about a fairly lucrative position.
They painted me a fairly rosy picture of the living scenario down there
but I think it's wise to do my own research..
Average rent in SJ is about $1500 USD for a 1BR apartment, no? What
other shocks have any of my Canadian FoRK-buddies experienced when
moving south to the Sillycon Valley?
What if I want to live near the water?
Ugh.
