Moving from London to LA late summer with a 6yr old and 3yr old. Where would you recommend living for good schools and not an overly awful commute?

Yeah another vote for Westwood.

Culver city is in the center of everything and I see plenty of parents with young kids!

Cant advice much on schools tho.

You could try the South Bay for good schools, but if you commute to West LA, your commute will be shit. West side has decent options for living (without knowing if you’re looking to buy or rent, which is a whole other can of worms), but then you’re likely sending kid to private school for what - 15k or 25k a year? I might be off. Tough call. Guess that’s why folks with kids live in the valley.

I live in Westwood near a charter elementary school (Westwood Charter) and that means free public school if you live in the area. My neighborhood is safe, family friendly (bc of the school) and 10-15 minute commute to Beverly Hills. Even possible to ride a bike to BH if you’re into that sort of thing. Check it out. Zip code 90025 in the area next to Westwood Charter. Not cheap rent tho.

Thank you for all of the recos!
Giving Culver City a try. 🤞

Pasadena

Would love to live in South Pasadena, but sadly the commute would be awful :(

Hey guys, I am in a dilemma right now and I am hoping to hear your take on my situation.

I just started a marketing-related job. It's a small setup backed by some VCs in developing platforms for the travel industry. And for context, it was referred by a friend of mine.

And then I just received another job offer - it's a comms role in a cryptocurrency trading platform (think along the lines of Binance).

Should I burn the bridge and take up the new job offer? How to explain my sudden departure?

Obviously it depends on company/agency, type of work, etc. so curious to hear from everyone!
