Agreed, there many good positions for new college grads. I don't think there is any better location than SV when starting a software engineering career. While housing prices are qu…

I enjoy the open floor plan as well. The ease in which I can have conversations with my manager (assuming they are sitting near to me) is probably the biggest benefit. I feel this …

There's HackersAndFounders.com, HackerDojo.com and a few others. Haven't been to that many events actually. I know a lot of startups coming out of Stanford though. Feel free to ema…
