City guides

Separate San Francisco from the wider Bay Area when researching offices. Use the exact meeting address to plan a visit, then ask people how they actually split their time across the region.

Start with the exact office and the journeys you would make each week. A New York label covers several boroughs and very different routes; a city guide should help you ask better questions about the particular role.

Research the office's exact location before planning a coffee chat. Use the city's walkable historic routes and major sporting traditions as conversation context, then ask how the role fits into daily life.

Check the airport route and office address before a visit. Use local architecture and public-space questions as an opening to learn what your contact enjoys about living here.

Prepare a specific question about the office you are considering, then leave room to ask how your contact spends time in London beyond work.

Use the transport notes to plan a visit, and use the conversation to learn how a specific office fits into life in Toronto.
