In terms of feel, what neighborhood in LA is closest to like beacon hill or Back Bay in Boston? Like dense but not highrises, and relatively walkable

There’s one or two streets in Santa Monica and Venice Beach, but realistically it doesn’t really exist in LA. Perhaps right next door to USC or UCLA in student housing, but of course the vibe will be totally different. Larchmont, Silverlake, Echo Park, and Frogtown are worth looking into, but ultimately you’ll need to rethink your expectations of living in LA.

Santa Monica

I’m a bit surprised to see Santa Monica here. I guess I haven’t seen enough of it. I honestly don’t think anything here is like back bay or beacon hill. It’s hard. I lived in back bay before here.

Oh that actually makes sense to me. You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned the historical aspect. That’s really what I miss, so I must be blind to all else. I miss the aesthetic of back bay too, like the bricks and the row houses.

Does anyone have tips regarding attending social events, such as happy hours with coworkers and express that drinking isn’t my preference?
With me being the only one on my team who doesn’t drink, it causes me to stick out, and others constantly question why I’m not drinking.
It kind of deters me from attending work events, but I know there’s a lot of benefitting in being around.

What would you do if you didn’t need money? I have a fair amount coming one day and don’t actually need to work to live a good life (middle / upper-middle class). I work because of this vague notion of “ambition” and because everyone I grew up around is highly competitive and hard driving. I just feel unhappy so often and am wondering what this is all leading to. Scared I’m wasting my life being unhappy / in turmoil cause it’s what my culture wants me to do.

Been with company for 2.5 years in a SFA role, and they just let me hire an associate financial analyst reporting into me. My manager never mentioned anything in regards to a promotion, but when I asked, I was told that there will be an evaluation period before any promotion is given. Has anyone else had this before, where you are managing someone but they don’t give you a promotion? Sounds bizarre to me that they allow me to hire someone but then are hesitant to promote.
