Has anyone ever transferred from a NY to an LA / SoCal office? What group/office did you transfer from/to and how has the transition been? Any key differences you notice in the work/life culture?

Culture. My friend who is from LA gave the NY office a try but found the office/nightlife too "gogogo/competitive" for his taste. Said the people he worked with in LA were more "chill," not sure if that helps

Moved from ny to fl. Night and day! My hours are similar but the stress level is so much lower and it is a result of a less intense work environment. Sunshine. Lower cost of living

This is my observation from coaching people in NYC and living/working in So Cal. Southern California is more laid back. When I first moved from the Bay to San Diego, I was surprised by the slower tempo.

Any black women here 40+ and still senior manager or lower? I’m wondering how you feel about the glass ceiling and the progress there is for us in corporate.

A part of me just want to go through the actions to get the check and spend it wisely, but my competitive/ego side feels I needs a high title because the culture says I should have one by now.

I couldn’t even count hours I’d already put in. Then they ghosted me. It ruined my interest in the role anyway, but I’m still extremely disappointed with how they treated me. Is there a way to give them that feedback? And is it even worth it anyway?

Is it me or does the newer generation value more intangible things that aren’t easily measured like work-life balance, fulfillment and purpose in work. Which makes it difficult for firms because that’s not something that is easily measured. Also, this is why there is “value” in crypto, NFTs and the metaverse. It’s a clash of the generations that value tangible things like money, houses, cars and one that values time, experiences, personal online image. Thoughts?
