Hi! I am 23 and work in M&A (specifically Healthcare) in Los Angeles and make 105k. My significant other is from Rancho Santa Fe and San Diego is where we would like to end up for obvious reasons.

However. I struggle to find finance jobs in San Diego whenever I look. Is this common? Can anyone provide insight on the IB, PE, VC, M&A world down there?

What companies are you applying for ? Maybe it would help to apply to some start ups

I haven’t applied yet. This move would be about a year from now. Just skeptical of the finance sector in SD and was wondering if this was a correct thought.

There isn’t much. Look at JMI (pe), Stepstone (has PE and vc components but mostly fund work). Qualcomm has a venture arm (Qualcomm Ventures).

Kinda what I have concluded, but this is super helpful thought. May have to land a remote position to make the move.

I’ve been working a Boston based commercial lender for about 9 months as a credit analyst since leaving my relationship manager/portfolio manager role in agricultural lending. I’ve been presented with a portfolio analyst role they have created for me (was told not to apply for a PM role) . The offer is for $100k, is this reasonable? I feel like I have leverage due to underwriting 48% of the volume we have booked by myself and my team is 7 other analysts.

Hi SD bowl! My partner and I are both in our late 20s, into surfing & are looking to relocate to SD. With that in mind, what areas should we be looking at that’s aren’t PB? We’ll most likely start with Airbnb for long term renting prior to getting a spot.

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city. My problem is I have been more of a homebody since I moved here and I'm a little intimidated to go out and meet people because I don't feel like I fit in here. I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.
