*Hey, Gilead readers: what's it like to live in Foster City? Do you actually live there? or where do you live?
The people I know at gilead do not live in Foster city. Some live in East Bay and others live nearby on peninsula. As with most in the Bay it often depends on where/if your spouse works and where you can compete for a house
ReplyDeleteI know a few people who work at Gilead. They're spread out between the South Bay, Peninsula and SF. Foster City itself is pretty small.
ReplyDeleteDue to the high price of the housing market, spouses jobs, people's own preferences about where they like to live, kid's schools, etc., once people get settled they don't tend to move around as they switch jobs.
