What job do you want to do by 35?
Hi everyone!
The startup I’m with is growing fast and we are hiring Tech recruiters with at least 5yrs of experience:

I’m with them now for 3 months and I never felt as psychologically safe as I feel now — our Head of Talent is incredible, so as our leadership team as a whole. We have a true collaborative culture, and I am learning a lot with them. If you have any questions, feel free to DM or email me at laura@laskie.com :)

Yes and yes. It’s not the south, but it’s not DTLA either. It’s a lot of silent racism and hiding things in “colorblind” policies.
Newport Beach is a hell hole of entitled brohan sales dudes and dudettes with the classic neoconservative alt-right mindset and an unchecked drinking problem that started in college. Unless you are a very "white acting" POC that attended USC and you're a potential buyer of mortgages, B2B services, software or other high dollar stuff you're not going to mesh into the NB culture.
There’s so many places you can be in LA, why Newport?
Avoid at all cost.
White person here. I moved there I initially, and I felt out of place - a lot of plastic surgery, young women dating MUCH older men. A lot of the stereotypes you hear about Orange County. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was worse for a POC unfortunately. I ended up breaking my lease and moving to LA.
Those reopen protestors you heard about in OC? That is right next door to Newport. Newport is just more affluent.
Remember the Lucille Bluth character from Arrested Development who had microaggressive views of her Hispanic housekeeper? That's Newport.

The Bluths aren’t an exaggeration
