IT job. New York or Bay Area?

Sorry, no Chinese input in company. Below list is only for comparing these two places.

Bay Area:
Advantages:
1. Great weather condition
2. Lots of IT companies
3. Nice environment like universities
4. Commute (Compare to NYC) ? No idea, normally how long will be spent on the way? 1 hour ? 2 hours ?
Disadvantages:
1. Expensive house and consume
2. Possibility of earthquake
3. Lack of water ?

New York:
Advantages:
1. Compare to Bay Area, house will be a little cheaper.
2. Finance center
Disadvantages:
1. Commute (plan to live in Long Island, and 3 hours will be spent every day on the way.)
2. IT job opportunities are less than Bay Area

Focus on career and kids education. Please give some advice. Thanks a lot.

    • 孩子角度,纽约好,好学校多,音乐艺术类更是拔尖,,,对父母来说,SF的气候实在让人向往。。。 +1
      • 看孩子兴趣是什么,非艺术类湾区近水楼台,实习工作机会无可比。
    • 看公司吧,就算IT公司多,也要看身份的。要我就选大公司,帮你申请绿卡的。把绿卡办了你就自由了。最近H1B前进的速度很快。 +1
      • 第一看有无发财机会,第二看有没有人在前档路。绿卡真的无所谓,我就推掉把律师费加在搬家费上。如对公司有用公司会求着你办,无用的话申请过程只是绊脚石。 +1
      • 自由到什么程度?
        • 我想应该是找工作的自由,想去哪就去哪。不过在申请期间就没有自由。一个公司因为你没有绿卡而不要你,这种工作也就不会是特别好的工作。 +1
        • 换工作的自由。
    • Thanks for the above advice. A lot of big IT companies are at Bay Area, the head offices are over there. But it is kind of pure IT technology. At NYC, most big companies are financial company, work in financial company with IT department, is it good?
      • 如果你没有很强金融方面的背景或工作经验的话,硅谷更好。 +1
        • 嗯, 还需要很棒的英语。 +2
          • 很棒的英文不一定有很棒的交流能力,这边工作非常强调沟通。这也是硅谷老印领导,老中埋头苦干的原因。这是中国的教育体制问题。 +1
    • NY和Bay地区的文化也很开明,很容易适应,美国也有的地区文化闭塞,排外,象北卡,南卡,对有色人种很有隔阂感 +1
    • 上星期到A公司面试,当天返回,加州的草是黄的,树也没有美东茂盛,大部分的山时黄的。除了气温适宜,真没看出加州哪好
      • 南加州夏天很热,气温不适宜。
      • 加州最吸引人的是没有冬天,最讨厌的是干旱
        • 酷热比严寒难受多了。
          • 是吗?我以为南方人都喜欢热的地方呢。冬天的时候总有南方人抱怨这里的冬天。。。
            • 但这并不影响有人抱怨南加州的夏天。
              • 还不都是奔着工作来的,还管天气,德州和亚利桑纳热的如大火炉子,不还是很多人要去吗
      • 北加州与南加州的气候很不相同。
      • 过关时说去面试吗?
