IB in Menlo / Palo Alto

All analysts in Menlo / PA:


Is it possible/recommended to live in SF?


what’s the going out scene in PA?


where are popular places to live if moving to the area?

 

Kind of in a tough spot if you work in PA/MP. You could take BART from the city, but that will take 45 mins each way, and when you are getting slammed at CVP/Evercore/BofA that last thing you want to do is take that long of a commute. You could find an apartment in PA/MP but it may be a bit expensive (1800/studio) and the nightlife down there sucks. Very suburban-esque, family oriented in PA/MP. It's really up to you- the tradeoff is time versus location. (Rent prob same in both city/MP if you are living alone).
