I second SC1’s beach idea, however after 5pm (sunset) is a different matter. Can’t think of anything in that timeframe which is not food/alcohol related, maybe head to LACMA where they have some cool art works on display (lights and such), if that’s your thing

Westchester Golf Club is next to the airport, you can play 18 with rental clubs in 4 hours including an uber back and forth - they have lights so you can play after sunset

This all depends on day and time. You could spend 3.5 hours round trip if you’re wanting to go to Hollywood. Plan well

3pm to 11pm

Either check your bag or find a hotel to check it. You’re not going to want to deal with it are you?

P1 - I will politely pass, but good luck to you

If you have friends in the area hit them up to take you out for the day. I was a similar situation and just chilled w my cousins driving all around LA. He took me to spots that were off the beaten path and we had a great time.

Regardless, I’d second the checked bag thing. It’d be a PIA to deal w anything other than a backpack all day

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.

I racked up about $20k in credit card debt due to a confluence of things happening at once (move, school expenses , etc ). I have a fair amount of paper assets but not a much free cash. Assets are down a decent amount with the current market cycle and I’d prefer not to sell them to cover the debt , although they easily could. Any suggestions how to handle the credit card debt without racking up tons of ongoing card interest?
