I am aiming for a junior android dev position at a startup. Is anyone familiar with the work culture between NY and SF?
NYC a lot of the startups were founded by finance or business people. They saw tech as a some a dozen and not really valued.
In SF on the other hand most startups seem to be founded by tech side and they value tech a more. There is more care for work life balance here then in NYC.
Recommendation: until you can afford to be choosy, go where you get the most attention in your career search. If you fight to get a single opportunity in one market, you will likely face a similar challenge when it is time to look for the next job in that same market.
