r/SFBayJobs

I received a job offer in the Ohlone area and the salary base salary is 72K. I tried to negotiate but they weren’t budging. After a year my salary will become 75K and two years it becomes 78K. Can someone tell me honestly can I make it on 72K in the Ohlone/Fremont area or should I decline the job? I’m unemployed now so nothing to fall back on and I’ll have to relocate to Fremont and they are not offering any relocation assistance. I’m 30m single.
NB: I posted in the r/Fremont subreddit but Reddit filters removed it.

Hey everyone! Firstly I'm not sure if this is a good subreddit to post this but I've already asked this in a few other subreddits including r/bayarea. I'm going to be visiting the Bay Area next week and will be there for 11 days. I'm a recent university graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Data Science, and I'm interested in moving down to the Bay Area within the next year in hopes of landing a job in Data Science/Analytics/Business Intelligence/Machine Learning/User Experience. I know the job market has been dismal for a while, but I figured networking and making connections down in the Bay where opportunities and companies are more prominent compared to my hometown (Portland, OR) would at least provide a couple of leads.

I've already planned on meeting some known connections that I have at some big companies, but I was also hoping to attend some summits/conferences/networking events at while I'm there where I can talk about my interests/projects, etc and meet some recruiters and so. I don't have any formal work or internship experience, just self-initiated projects as well as research experience. Any advice helps, thank you!
