People tend to have a love-hate relationship with LA, and the quality of life varies a lot between different parts of the region. The weather is usually good, the traffic and pollution can be impressively bad, if you live in the wrong place you’ll be at annual risk of wildfires, but the beach life is fantastic.

I lived in SoCal as a kid and went to USC, but left for Denver in my mid 20s. I got more property for my money and I prefer having the four seasons.

Hello fishes, I joined Nagarro on 24th of August. But still no project is assigned yet. Basically I am on bench. Now I am about to get an offer from ServiceNow. I really wanna join ServiceNow as it's a big product based organisation and the competition is really high compared to Nagarro. ServiceNow is giving me a joining date of 1st October. As I am still on bench, will I get released by Nagarro soon ? Because no project is allocated to me.
