Well, seems it's true: tech is starting to drove into the City. Ack!. Gag.

I've been inside the LYFT offices. Lots of snacks and collaborative work spaces with pricey furnishings in SOMA industrial chic space. They have faux pink fur on the elevators.

Kinda struck me as a circa 1999 Bubble aesthetic, though I'm sure that's not what they were going for.

I guess I can't really complain, since I'm taking advantage of these opportunities (working as a jr developer now, making lots of really great connections too). Much better fit for me than marketing ever was. It's INTP/ENTP paradise.

And it won't be long before these opportunities spread to more parts of the country, IMO.

Recruiters call me 3-4 a week, for new job opportunities. What a nice "problem" to have!

I don't like recruiters. They's how I ended up in Vietnam.
Careful who you sign with!

I don't trust recruiters, only organic connections. I get calls and emails from them about jobs that are too good to be true. Facebook is really going to hire a recruiter who speaks broken English to find candidates? I highly doubt that.

Yeah, I get messages from recruiters several times a week. Judging from my experience when I was out of work and looking last year, mostly they don't amount to much.

This has been going on for a couple years now. Hence the change in social climate and jokes about overhearing people talking about their new startup idea everywhere you go.
