San Fran - chilly, yes. Not so if you move a bit south into the peninsula. It is expensive to own a house but rentals are much better. Also, the local tech industry (assuming that's the industry you have a job in) does tend to pay higher / adjust to the cost of living. My philosophy is that for you 1st job you want to go and work in the city that has the most job opportunities in your sector. So tech - SF Bay Area; Biotech - Cambridge / Boston; Financial Service - NY, etc.

I chose LA, having gone to school in San Diego.
Yes, it is very expensive to live here comfortably and difficult to find work right out of college. However, there is also almost every job market available here. I notice that those around me who live comfortably in LA, would be wealthy in many other states.
But that is the compromise I chose to make, because I like and enjoy what Los Angeles has to offer. I considered trying to start my career in New York, but that seemed like an even tougher nut to crack right out of school.

Baltimore looked lovely in "The Wire"Originally Posted by austinite
Did we watch the same TV show?
Seriously, though, I've heard good things about Baltimore.
Boston/Cambridge is great, although you need a thick skin to get through the winter. Lots of students & recent graduates, plus some very affordable neighborhoods.

right out of college?
Move to NYC just to get it out of your system. Seriously.

As a recent graduate I'd probably head to Boston or Chicago. Both are expensive but still affordable for students/recent grads but they offer a lot of the things a young professional will be looking for. They're also both walkable so you can mostly ditch the car.

Everyday I wish I was somewhere other than super flat southeast Michigan. Give me a mountain or a desert or an ocean. I need some real topography!
