Living in

Los Angeles

US

Los Angeles is sprawling, creative, and impossible to put in a neat box. Tech sits alongside entertainment, media, consumer brands, and health innovation which means career paths here are rarely linear.

People come for the lifestyle, but they stay because the market is bigger and broader than it first appears. LA rewards adaptability, and the talent pool reflects that: diverse, multi-skilled, and shaped by industries that move fast and overlap often.
