Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?

If there are any opportunities, please reach out.

Moving to LA for a job, won't have to be in the office more than 1-2 times a week. Any areas to look into? Don't want to live downtown, would prefer some green space if possible - I have a dog. Maybe in the $2.5-$3k range?

Would appreciate your thoughts on my housing situation: currently deciding between moving to a studio/1-br in DTLA or SM.

Any suggestions for good aptmt buildings in DTLA? Looking for $1.8k-2k. Lifestyle-wise I’m nervous about living in DTLA because I’m from NY and it absolutely pales in comparison. The somewhat reasonably-priced luxury apartments (with concessions) are what’s drawing me in.

For SM I’d have to go above budget (2.2k+) and idk if the beach life is worth the splurge. Is it? 🥺

Anyone have a good CPA in La? Hit with a fat tax bill so looking to see if there are ways I can cut it.

Hi! I’m moving to LA from Chicago, base 90k - no debt. I live in a 1BD rn and have been browsing the market in LA to get an idea of rent. I’m mainly looking west of DTLA (ktown, la brea, pico rob, etc)it’s seeming like a 1BD may be out of reach. I’m not looking to pay more than $1800/mo. Any suggestions on neighborhoods I should consider? I’d like to be near grocery, restaurants, and would need parking. I enjoy being outdoors and would look to go on hikes/runs in my free time if that helps. TIA!

Is anyone in her a bit further south? I'm in Orange County (but, of course, there isn't a bowl for OC). I moved here in October, and I wfh so no opportunity to meet anyone in the office. Thanks to the pandemic, I haven't really met anyone outside of work either. 39/f with a partner, cats, and way too much time alone.
