IT consultancy and C2C contract roles in San Francisco
A different market from the South Bay, and worth treating as one. San Francisco proper is where the AI and foundation-model companies sit, alongside fintech and enterprise SaaS. The Tri-Valley corridor — Dublin, Pleasanton, San Ramon — is a substantial enterprise IT market in its own right, with large financial-services and software employers, and it is where a great many consultants working the Bay Area actually live.
