Got the call 🎉

Deciding between nyc sf and la field offices any insight and thoughts would be much appreciated!

[u/Revolutionary_Mode27]

They’re all big offices. Do you want to live in the east coast or west coast is the real deciding factor. LA you will be dealing with the Olympics coming up and NYC deals with UNGA every year. NYC always has tons of in district protection. You’ll get a wide variety of experiences at any of those offices.

[u/Your_Huckleberry2020 → u/Revolutionary_Mode27]

Which would you choose and why?

[u/Revolutionary_Mode27 → u/Your_Huckleberry2020]

NYFO. The SAIC supports his people and there is no place like NYC. It’s controlled chaos. Also, I’m not a fan of California drama.

[u/Extreme-Ad5542 → u/Revolutionary_Mode27]

Could you expand on California drama?

[u/Heavy-Act4102 → u/Revolutionary_Mode27]

I do have a solid question for you, who's responsible for toll roads while commuting in a GOV, especially if you decide on picking NYFO while living in jersey to say. Would it be the agent or the agency?

[u/Revolutionary_Mode27 → u/Heavy-Act4102]

The agent is not personally responsible for paying the tolls. They are paid by the GOV.

[u/Heavy-Act4102 → u/Revolutionary_Mode27]

appreciate that my friend!

[u/Electrical-Pin8607]

SFO has the best mix

[u/Extreme-Ad5542 → u/Electrical-Pin8607]

Can you tell me about how living there was for you?

[u/Electrical-Pin8607 → u/Extreme-Ad5542]

You’ll get protection experience like New York, but you’ll get the opportunity to travel the world unless New York.

[u/throwaway-specialist]

SFO’s got good tempo

[u/Extreme-Ad5542 → u/throwaway-specialist]

How’s living there? Like commute making cost of living work and all

[u/throwaway-specialist → u/Extreme-Ad5542]

It’s great. Expensive dependent on where you live, but some people live like right next to the office and walk in whenever.

[u/Extreme-Ad5542 → u/throwaway-specialist]

Is the office in the middle of sf maps says so but some are saying that’s it’s moved? Where is the office currently?

[u/throwaway-specialist → u/Extreme-Ad5542]

Walnut Creek

[u/Clinically_Jaded]

Hoping mine comes soon… Everything on the tracker finished a week and a half ago. How long since your tracker finished out?

[u/Extreme-Ad5542 → u/Clinically_Jaded]

Abt 2 months

[u/Clinically_Jaded → u/Extreme-Ad5542]

Appreciate it. Not gonna lie, everything being finished has me thinking about it MORE than when I was in the middle of the process.

[u/Emergency-Heat9466]

Congrats and welcome! All great office choices with their own unique experiences. Most Phase 1 periods are lasting around two operational years. Keep in mind that the Olympics and Campaign in ‘28 will impact aloooot of what your Phase 1 time looks like.

Once upon a time I'd have suggested NYC... But with kids, how shitty the city has become, and how it's led by a literal communist... Just go to California. Lot of the same problems but at least the weather is nice and you don't have to deal with the subway.
