Hey! Debating moving from Portland for a job in LA. Is 80k enough to live alone in LA? Or does that seem like a really big dip in lifestyle

80K in California is a very tight budget.

It will be a downgrade as far as housing etc. But what do you value? I moved from Seattle 15 years ago to SoCal and would never go back. The climate, the activities—mountains, beach, desert all within / 2hrs drive—quality of life is much better than 9mos overcast even if not financially smart…if I only cared about money I would move to Kansas.

As long as you love the beach and sunshine more than the clouds and nature of Oregon. Portland is a very different place from LA. You will find a lot of places that you love if you give it a chance. Living conditions will definitely change.

I would not recommend that move, not to LA. Maybe the valley or IE.

But I have to decide soon. Should I accept both the offers and then decline one at the time of joining. I am new to this and find this a little unethical. Can someone help?
