Car as an analyst in SF?

Title says it all.... I'm going to be starting as a first-year IB analyst in SF soon and I am wondering if it would be a good idea to take my car. 

Analysts in SF - did you take a car with you and would you recommend it?

If you do, live in a neighborhood with permit parking and is known for at least doable parking. Wouldn’t expect to use it to commute more just to have for weekends if you already own one. But residential parking permit is the only affordable way to go and that entirely depends on which neighborhood you live in
