I’m actually in the Ventura/SB area, but lived in LA for 6 years until a few months ago. Couldn’t find decent paying work in LA but found a great gig here. 1) 12 attorneys, 2) 1500 hours annually, 3) $130k, 4) 10% origination bonus which will amount to about $15k, 5) excellent quality of life/no weekend work, 6) $200k debt, 7) single. Enjoying the central coast much more than LA but have considered making a move to LA big law to help pay down debt faster.
