Work closer to home is my advice. I spent way too much time doing long commutes and the lack of time to exercise and also eat right gets you later. South Bay is way more affordable, and more stable companies. Its easier to visit SF on your own schedule. Also, South Bay has lots of other places to visit, drop over the hill to Santa Cruz, Monterey, as well as Napa and San Francisco. If the is an AI-Pocalypse, SF will be hit hard.
