My friend got his CS degree from there (after first half at Seattle Central). He got a job at Microsoft right out of school. I was highly debating going that route too but like you said, man it's so expensive. My friend isn't religious and said they don't really push anything, but I think you have to take some kind of theology class.
If you can afford to live in the city then it'll be fine. You can bus/train/rideshare to most places easily. Parking is expensive as fuck in the city as well.
ty. I guess depending on how the job search goes, I think i'll definitely make the move. idk what other city i'd go to where rent doesnt suck ass
A very large part of what makes the area great is the surrounding natural beauty, which you can't really enjoy without a vehicle. Other than that we're turning into rainy, passive aggressive San Francisco with a far worse arts scene (due to a long, steady decline).
I've heard a lot of people describe the place as 'passive aggressive' specifically. what's that about? Does it tie into the whole 'seattle freeze' thing? Damn is it really that bad?
The Seattle Freeze is a separate phenomenon of people acting friendly and saying things like "we should totally hang out sometime!" with no intention of actually ever following through and ghosting you when you try to make real plans. It's not necessarily borne out of ill will, but it does betray a certain amount of narcissism that people are too busy and important to waste any time on other people that aren't already in their close friends circle. It's somewhat overblown, but it is definitely a very real thing. It's also a self fulfilling prophecy at this point because it introduces the game theory of "is this person actually interested in being friends or should I cut my losses and stop putting energy into the relationship?" https://www.seattletimes.com/life/l...gton-residents-dont-even-want-to-talk-to-you/
It's basically a different city for those who got into stable careers before the recession and/or were able to buy property before ~2012.
Well I wouldn't blame them, but the amount of people that have observed the Seattle Freeze makes it ipso facto a real thing. It wasn't just invented in this thread. It's describing a human experience, not some falsifiable property of physics or something.
