Hi All,
Incoming associate moving from NYC to SF. Comp is market (~300k), wondering:
1) Is $3K for a 1BR in North Beach/Nob/Russian Hill area a good deal? How much do you guys plan to spend on rent? Saw an existing thread that was mainly focused on NYC but SF market is a little different now for many reasons
2) Anyone interested in getting in on a shared bay club membership?
Thanks!

Interested as well - moving to SF in the Fall for PE
Still got space?
Same I’d be interested too
What are the other best quality gyms other than Bay Club and Equinox in the area?
they're the only two good ones. I'd go with Bay Club, get a family plan and split it -- def worth it
Fitness SF and Crunch are probably the tier 2 ones, but I would say the premium for Equinox or Bay Club is probably worth it working in finance. The others are cheap but crowded and as a junior you wanna make sure you get the equipment you want during the 45 mins you have time instead of waiting around lol.
And also don’t touch places like 24 hour Fitness with a 10 foot pole lol
Congratulations on your new role!
I spent ~15% of gross comp on housing/parking/utilities, and $36k/300k sounds reasonable without digging through classifieds or joining a waitlist.
I just left the Bay Area, but you'll love the bay club.
Thank you very much! Appreciate the insight, super helpful
I live in studio in one of those areas and paying 2,900 for apt + parking. 3k is about right. I would pay the extra money to be in a nice area (NB, Russian hill, Marina, pac heights)
Super helpful, Ty!
Is your office in the city or Peninsula?
interested in bay club membership too
The rent you're looking at seems reasonable. SF is more of a renter market these days than pre-Covid time - it might be worth negotiating with landlords if you have some time before moving in.
I pay 3k for a 1 bed in pac heights- totally do able...
Bay club, equinox or Olympic club (after you get off the waiting list) are the way to go
Interested in Bay Club as well, feel free to PM - moving to the Bay Area soon.
Any recs on living in SF vs Peninsula?
Marina SF
Interested in Bay Club if you haven't signed up already.
