>We've gone from ~4% unemployment to 10-15%. Which sounds bad. But if you flip it around, we've gone from 96% employment to 85-90%. The vast majority of people are still employed and the economy is mostly still humming along. T

Two or three security challenges, similar to CTF's, a couple of phone interviews, and a day long onsite. Pretty free to grow and work on what you like. Amazing work life balance, IMO.

I'm currently in Echo Park, a few blocks from Sunset. Downtown is great if you want a true urban feel and don't mind the homeless. I found a deal on rent but was looking heavily at Macarther park to Koreatown area. I've heard

Quality of life is even better in California if you are remote. I don't see how this helps. I used to live in Austin but after getting a remote job I moved to LA. I get to live in an amazing, walkable neighborhood and rarely deal with

Acapulco is a warzone. It used to be a world renown tourist area but fell into chaos. Search youtube for the video where cartels attack the police headquarters and hotel where they were staying.
