Yeah it’s super team dependent, I was hybrid but never actually met my team in person

I did check out a bunch of other amazon offices tho lol

You can pretty much go to any office you want if they have agile desks

Is there a server for Seattle interns?

menlo park vs seattle for fb full time? im having a really hard time deciding. Seattle seems nicer for cheaper col compared to menlo park but im not sure if the weather will make me think otherwise. It would be nice to be in menlo park to experience main hq but rent for a decent place is pretty expensive...

#

menlo park also kinda far from SF so i guess its harder to visit SF more frequently

azure pecan
#

I live in Seattle and would choose Menlo Park. Ever since the pandemic hit its hard dealing with the crappy weather especially with having to do a lot outings/ eating outside. I’ve had enough outdoors dining experiences with rainy/cold weather.

When I was there this summer people were eating in restaurants dont think there was distancing either bars seemed pretty packed too

#

Is the commute from Seattle to Bellevue a mess? I'm wondering if I should get a place in Seattle instead of closer to the office

restive plinth
#

As for commuting, always possible for traffic, especially big city. Had that happen, week day, week end, during times in the day where you wouldn't expect to have traffic it will be there.

#

Damn that kinda sucks :/ So I guess I'd be get a place in Bellevue and commute on the weekend to go out then

bright dirge
#

And have to take into account parking costs in city probs about 50-75 more a month than Bellevue if you were planning on car no matter where

#

But if you are like go out person a lot then might be worth being in city

ancient schooner
#

I mean, I like going to cafés and stuff, less so clubs and I don't plan on having a car so I would mostly use public transport or Uber

bright dirge
#

True some companies do have commuter buses and there are city buses as well for the commute if you decide the city and then eventually train

There are some properties that like the old half of complex doesn’t have air and newer half does which can make it tricky so best to just ask about that

yeah A/C is an issue

If you can rent an indoor A/C would be pog

Parking is paid monthly in city will be over 200/month for most part

I've seen mostly like 75-100

#

Some have free parking too

#

Like moda

bright dirge
#

Hm well when I was searching that is what it was idk and walking around random garages have signs outside with prices like that

tired spoke
#

Yeah but that is gonna be for places that don't have parking

#

You can find places with parking

bright dirge
#

Or don’t have enough parking for everyone my place in SLU is $225 for a space has an underground parking garage below apartment

#

And in Google reviews it says moda is $220 don’t think parking is free just because they list it as an amenity

quick wagon
#

can confirm, parking is an amenity you pay for in Seattle sadge

#

Average is $150 for Apartment parking but it varies

tired spoke
#

At moda

#

And that there were plenty of spots

#

That they were able to get one all the time

bright dirge
#

Hm I see different but if it works out good for you just doubt it parking is scare commodity it’s not gonna be free

Or find a condo - parking usually comes for free

And more value for money in downtown

What would be considered a good price for a one bedroom apartment in Seattle?

frosty storm
#

anything below 2k, no?

ancient schooner
#

Is the average 2k? Or am I getting ripped off

bright dirge
#

A standard 1 bedroom in city is def gonna be over 2k more like 2500+ at newer nice places urban 1 bed can save you money

quick wagon
#

Depends

#

If you’re in UDist and above it’s around 1800-2200 for a 1 bed

#

If you’re near SLU and all the big companies in south seattle you’re looking at like 2400 avg I’d you want something nice

bright dirge
#

Yeah depends on location for sure

ancient schooner
#

Goddamn it is expensive on the west coast

lethal warren
#

yeah i pay ~$2.1k for a 1br but i also pay utilities for the building which end up being like $200-$300 extra so functionally ~$2.4k. expensive but i honestly feel pretty good abt that in cap hill

1hr*

#

In 2023 the light rail to Redmond from Seattle opens up which will lower it to ~30 min

quick wagon
#

You can rent a nice 3 bed 2 bath house 30-40ish minutes north of Redmond for 2000

#

but the trade off is that there’s nothing to do up north

#

and you need a car

#

and during rush hour the traffic makes it a lot worse than living in Seattle and commuting to Redmond

slu is where all of the offices are, and is a pretty quiet area but tons of nice apartments there. I used to live in orion apartments which was pretty nice and not too expensive; republican and 8th is a little less nice, but cheaper

#

I've also have friends at mark on 8th, modera, and juxt. juxt is a bit further from 'central' slu, but rly close to fb offices

#

modera is also pretty reasonably priced and not bad, have a lot of friends who live there; tellus is also beside modera, and rly nice but on the pricier side

#

I bought a house lol

#

I've never lived there, but modera is prob the best bang for the buck, apartments are clean and nice (nothing 'luxury' though) and they're huge so they have pretty good amenities/office staff

#

I've only been to modera slu

#

I work at google and live in fremont now

south queen anne is quite a bit from caphill so if you wanna go out every once and a while it'll be a trip

imo SLU prob best where you're central to different things you can do but not like living directly in it

only downside is things close maddd early in SLU

also check out the pinned pdf if you haven't already

its a doc made by amazon people but i'd say there's some good general advice too

# mental shell Is living on a boat at a dock a viable option for Seattle?

I realize this is a late reply but I do this rn and basically got very very lucky. Live aboard slips are hard to come by and marina managers can be picky about who gets them. Finding an available slip for your boat can be hard enough. Some people "sneak aboard" to stay discreet but that's not ideal.

It's nice in the summer and can be very cheap if you don't spend a lot of money on engine or boat upkeep. Very cold in the winter though.

I think in downtown a car isn't needed but you can always get the occasional gig car for a road trip outdoors or something

From a legal standpoint you may be better off using rentals or gig cars that are covered by liability insurance

you could potentially have a car where both of you are drivers on the insurance but idk if that'd be cheaper than gig

Hi, I am currently working with amazon and planning to switch. I am in discussion with MS and Meta recruiter regarding scheduling an interview [SDE2]. I want know which companies gives option to move to seattle or bay area. I am moved to canada because my H1B was not picked.

kind aspen
worn hull
eternal sable
# kind aspen is it common for H1B to be not picked up even after 3 tries?

assuming 25% for masters/phd cap and 36% for regular cap. Which are 2020 numbers, and will probably be lower for subsequent years.
You get
For someone with a bachelors: .64^3 = 26.2% proba of not being picked after 3 years
For someone with a masters/phd: .64^3*.75^3 = 11.06% proba of not being picked after 3 years
Now that's for the math. For the anecdote, my roommate with a masters missed the lottery 3 times and now has to leave the US

ive heard someone who didnt get picked 6 years running lol, bs then ms w/ no luck. ended up getting transferred to canada n still waiting for h-1b there

How much is cost of first month for seattle apartment in SLU on average?

stuck pagoda
#

may be slightly off

#

you can check on zillow/any rentals sites though

frosty storm
#

That seems extremely low

#

I'm not talking about monthly payment

#

But like first month payment

bright dirge
#

I mean you will just pay first months rent Seattle has renter friendly laws so not gonna had a bunch of stuff on top

stuck pagoda
#

deposit is usually equal to first month rent, so before you move in you'd most likely have:
application fee ~ $50 avg
deposit (which is equal to monthly rent)
monthly rent for first month
security deposit ~$200-300

#

so total would be like 50 + 300 + (monthly rent * 2)

frosty storm
#

@bright dirge is saying that there are renter friendly laws

stuck pagoda
frosty storm
#

for monthly rent

#

that would still apply?

stuck pagoda
#

Most likely; it all depends on the specific apartment tbh but in general those fees will apply (ie deposits & app. fees)

frosty storm
#

so 6k is reasonable to have then u would say

stuck pagoda
#

So I'd prepare to pony up about 5-6k yeah

frosty storm
#

okay cool thanks

stuck pagoda
#

Np, gl with search

frosty storm
#

yea i found apartments already in slu

#

but visiting in a couple weeks to actually sign lease

#

and scope seattle abit

#

do you think prices will rise randomly after lease expires ?

#

or do laws in seattle prevent that

stuck pagoda
#

Not sure, haven't heard a lot of cases for that & not sure bout the laws either

#

But in my lease, they did mention that the landlords can adjust rent at will depending on what they deem fit; tho i'd assume there'd be some renters protection from increases without proper excuse

eternal sage
#

Does anybody have a good estimate for how to 'convert' Seattle dollars to Bay Area dollars or vice versa? Want to be able to understand roughly what each offer can get me

vagrant fern
#

Yea there’s tables and shit of equivalencies but I think those are bullshit tbh

eternal sage
#

Well this is primarily for me to negotiate tbh

vagrant fern
#

Your best bet is start off by figuring out your take home for each offer

#

So biweekly or monthly depending on how they pay out

#

If you wanna look on numeo for grocery price comparisons or whatever you can but I really don’t think that matters since you can find cheap groceries basically everywhere

#

Gas prices are another factor if you drive

eternal sage
vagrant fern
#

Saying “I need you to adjust upwards” will get you nowhere lmao

Not sure how far you can get with that for negotiations though

Oh wow that looks great

Temporary housing in Sept

Idk if this is the right place to say this, but: Is anyone here looking for temporary accommodation/stay in September (for around ~2 weeks or so)? I have an 800+ sqft 1b1b available in the u-district area in Seattle (my lease starts on Sept 12th, but I won't be moving in until the last week of Sept or the first week of Oct.)

It's around 3 miles from most tech offices in SLU, and takes about 15-20 mins to commute by bus, or 6-10 mins by car, depending on traffic. Around 40/45 mins commute to Bellevue/Redmond by bus.

DM me if you're interested, lol.

Looking for Housing/Roommates in Seattle Area!!

-Short walking distance to a connector stop
Budget: $1600 House: 2 or 3 bedroom
Lease Date: After July 16th
—
My name is Cindy Lay and I’m starting as a PM at Microsoft on August 8th. I’m looking to move in as soon as July 16th! My budget is around $1600. I’m looking for 1-2 other roommates to fill a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment. I’m also happy to join other housing groups as well!

I don’t have a car so Capitol Hill would be ideal but I’m also looking at living in Bellevue for the shorter commute. I’m very clean about communal spaces— bathroom, kitchen etc. and good about cleaning them regularly.

I’m 22 years old and graduated from Claremont McKenna in Southern California. I’ve most recently lived in Seoul, South Korea but have moved a lot of places growing up. I’ve roomed well with a lot of different personalities and am pretty chill and accommodating.

In my free time I love to go on hikes, read books, and cafe hop. I do enjoy going out once in a while but I am pretty chill as well. I’m new to Seattle and would love to room with someone who enjoys exploring and trying new things! If you think we would be a good fit please dm me! You can also directly. insta: cindy_lay
