My point is these tech companies have Marketing, Legal, HR, Accounting, and Customer Service Departments. And they don't hire blacks in any of them. So getting more black people into STEM doesn't solve anything.
I disagree but the vast majority of the places out here don't hire many blacks to prominant positions so I can see your point. The reason is what we disagree on.

It is VERY expensive. At a minimum, budget around 2500 just for rent if you plan on living alone. Aside from that Oakland is a great place. There’s a lot of black history in Oakland. Yes racism exists everywhere but Oakland has by far been one of the most chill place I’ve lived in. Honestly I had my worst interactions with black men while out there, everyone else was cool even the Mexicans.

Are there jobs in Oakland? You should probably see what's hiring first and then back into the move/location and whatever else. It would be nice if you could hit the ground running income wise and not use your savings at all or a minimal amount of it.
