Lived and worked in LA for 4 years and probably spent about 1 of those years in my car.

Rather be in a car than a packed subway… grass isnt always greener!

There are still sweatshop agencies and clients out here but it’s just a lot more chill and weather/lifestyle makes you almost forget… but yeah less agencies and less work

Stay in NYC while you’re young and coming up then move out here once you hit Sr. / ACD+… you can always go back if it ain’t your thing

Buuuut in this economy I wouldn’t move anywhere without a job and some savings just in case… it’s just as expensive out here plus you’ll want a car or moto
