The city
Living in Merced, CA
Known as the 'Gateway to Yosemite,' Merced sits in California's Central Valley amid farmland and tree-lined residential streets. Home to UC Merced, this mid-sized city offers a slower, small-town pace within a few hours' drive of both Sierra Nevada recreation and Bay Area metro life.

Beyond that rate and the Merced location, the public file is thin—no unit texture, scheduling notes, residency path, or tuition help is on record here. DaVita also shows up in the same market if you are comparing nearby employers. If $35 an hour in Merced fits what you need, the next step is straightforward: open the posting and apply. Go in knowing the pay sample is a single data point, not a spread across many roles.
