1 year. I came here for $$ and nothing else.

12 years ago, moved from the east coast. Had an internship in mountain view (Mozilla), took the opportunity to visit SF. Fell in love with the city on first sight. Took a job offer that had me move there.

1 year, moved from Midwest, spouse admitted to graduate school at Berkeley

6 years, yes from Boston, moved for more diversity of jobs and sunshine

8 months, job and year round mild weather. Ngl also romanticized living in California for many years

13 months. Chicago - for the tech hype here. Deloitte does not level salary, so I am kinda poor!

Coming. MBA at Stanford

Moved here in 2020 from NYC.

Any recommended resources for a mid-level lit associate looking to develop some skills in health care transactional work? I'm primarily a med-mal attorney and several clients have small opportunities on the MA side that I'd like to be able to assist with. The firm does not currently have a specific transactional healthcare practice group so I'd need to go out of the firm for mentorship in this area. For now, I'm just looking for good basic foundational resources.

Appreciate it!
