My wife just got a job in LA and we’re moving around the first of the year. Any recommendations for a mid-level copywriter? Both agency and neighborhood advice would be welcome!

Plan to live close to work. Sitting for an hour in traffic in the morning and afternoon is a royal waste of time. you can also live near a train line and see if you can take that to work -

Not sure about agency for you but neighborhoods are all pretty great for different things. Mostly you should look for the type of home and lifestyle you want and then very high importance is how long are both of your commutes. I live only 13 miles from my office but takes me well over an hour each way

Seems like most agencies are near Santa Monica/Venice. Is that accurate and if so any neighborhoods in that area I should check out?
