It's doable but not comfortable. Living alone in San Francisco on that salary is probably impossible for most people; I think everyone that I know in SF lives with a roommate or SO. The farther suburbs are slightly less expensive, though. At least there's IBR to help with loan debt!Anonymous User wrote:relatively on-topic question: is it really feasible to make $50k in SF?
i know someone who received and rejected an offer.Anonymous User wrote:has anyone gotten any offers? i still haven't heard anything
The program rotates. It was in LA for two years before it moved to Sac Town. Not sure if they were planning to have it there for two years, but if they are, that means that it will be there next year also.Anonymous User wrote:I'm interested in applying for this next year. Is the program always in either Sacramento or SF? Is it ever based in LA?

Thank you! As a follow-up question, you mentioned earlier in the thread that the two years is treated like a probationary period, and that if you do well you generally get to stay on. Assuming you get an offer to stay after the two years, would it be difficult at that point to move to another location? Are you expected to stay in the same office?zot1 wrote:The program rotates.

I was told you can only really move if the other office has an opening and someone puts in a good word for you. I have never really seen anyone do it though.Anonymous User wrote:Thank you!

Thanks so much!
It's really not doable, in my opinion. Obviously need to have a roommate, but everything in SF is hyper expensive even if you get one--rent with a roommate in many neighborhoods is still close to 2k a month. I even lived like an hour up the Bart line into the East Bay and still had to pay north of 2k a month. A lot of people I know who take jobs with that kind of salary here are either rich or have a high-earning spouse.Anonymous User wrote:It's doable but not comfortable.

Here's hoping that someone hears back (and posts in this thread) this week.
