OAK is very different, not as many new bidders and mostly west-coasters waiting to move on to LAS, PHX, and DEN create a steady movement and a chance to get off reserve after 3-4 months.
Way too many falsehoods about OAK still out there. Still see people say OaK gets every new hire. And I have done 2 months in Vegas and 2 in OAk and I'll take OaK. Vegas is a terrible commute in. And than you'll be stuck on weekend reserve for 6-9 months. Which makes the commute in tougher. And than hotels are a pain on weekends. Yes much more to do by the hooters hotel than the radisson in OAK. But never got stuck in jumpseat up to oak. Have evrytime going to Vegas.
But hey everyone has their preference.
