they have real friends within the first 6 months.
Friends? What are those. You mean those people who will ingratiate themselves superficially to see what you have, then move on rapidly if there is nothing to gain? There are lots of them. People will also go along for the ride while spending and flaunting money.
Human values are for losers.
Hi Goran_P: I think you mentioned on a thread a while ago that you left California.I’d like to know too... Nevada?
Would you mind sharing a report card with us about your relocation? Maybe you can share about quality of life changes good or bad for your immediate family members. Thanks!
Sadly, this describes my experience with many of my so called “friends” here in the Silly-con valley
I am amazed that the LinkedIn HQ is in a shithole area. On the other hand.....Explain
A friend of mine works in biotech. She said that now PhD's and MD's are doing what folks with a BS or MBA did years ago.

Or so many PhD EE's performing E-test on devices. Back in the day, talented self-trained dudes with only HS education, or perhaps AA degrees, would perform those tasks.

Oh jeez this is so obvious in "tech".
I remember recently a slick young errand runner in finance department with his oversized Georgia Tech MBA ring bird-dogging PO's. Really?

Pathetic.
Going through a PhD Chemistry program, I can attest that most of the people I saw get pushed through the system and leaving with their doctorates were woefully unqualified to do anything most of the people with bachelors going to work right away would do. It actually got in the way of me getting a job because the people with PhDs want to get paid more but...in general, were less qualified than the people with a BS in the same field.

I had a very different experience, PhD advisor actually cared about mentoring, and his PhD students were very well-prepared. All of them save 2 or 3 out of >60 still work in their field and do well. Of course, the flip side of it was huge pressure and 80-hr work-weeks. Group was called "labor camp" by others but there was enough guidance and money to do whatever the hell you wanted.

We can do emojis here now???
Overall I feel for the people who are stuck in over priced Democrat controlled america. Once you experience real America, it's hard to go back
in middle or late 90's and there was shit on sidewalk near Moscone(?) center already.

Alright, here's my bird's eye view answer to your question.
Best Quality of life changes:
- Lower taxes, Less fear of more: One of the things I love about not living next to a coast. I never have to worry about some mega bond being floated to support some entitlement program or union pensions that are out of control. That was the thing I hate about California. Every year, your county or even at the state level, Democrats would always put some super bond to vote, and you knew it was going to pass. Whether it was BART, or another school district levy, it always passed.
- Less crowds: One of the things ...

I was there in 1991 and wanted to check out the Haight-Ashbury district. Didn't SEE poop but smelled it, Saw pisses being taken in broad daylight, no effort to be discreet about it either. There were young panhandlers slouched across the sidewalk demanding in aggressive tones that people stepping over them give them money.
People act like it's a brand new phenomenon, and attribute it to California "liberal" policies. Reality is, climate and opportunity makes people flock here and stay including bums.

Yes, any valid UTF-8 character should work since I made the database accept them instead of being limited to just ASCII text.
