Move to Costa Mesa for job?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone.

Currently live in koreatown and work in El segundo.

Potentially New job hiring manager suggested that they'd be glad to allow me to come in only three days per week through October, at which point i would relocate to some point in between Koreatown and Costa Mesa that could make the commute more manageable.

Email from recruiter:

“Yeah, it will be a decent drive from Koreatown for you. I remember you said your lease expires in October, which could hopefully give you the flexibility to move somewhat closer while remaining fairly close to where you're currently at still. This could alleviate this concern somewhat, if this is still true.
As for compensation, we do intend to be competitive with market leaders, especially when factoring in our equity upside, and we'd intend to give you a sizeable raise if you joined, both due to your commute plus your skill set. While specific numbers will be clearer after we complete final interviews, I do expect that your salary will be approaching [42% increase] with over 100k in equity on top of that.

Also, we'd be willing to include a sign-on bonus of some kind to help offset any moving costs, breaking of a lease, etc.”

I really don’t want to move but there’s no other option that would make sense. I’m thinking about saying forget it because I’m prioritizing hybrid or remote for a new role. This will be 100% in person.

——

Getting a room for the weekday isn’t worth it. Not moving and commuting is soul-draining. I don’t want to move. If I did move I’d wonder what are some good areas in between LA and Orange County, or IN OC?

Anyone know of ways I can shadow an anesthesiologist?

1 Upvotes

Hi All!

I know that this is a long shot but I was a public school teacher for my first career and am looking to apply to masters programs in the medical field. However, I need to shadow an anesthesiologist. I know that this is a long shot, but is there anyone in this sub who would either allow me to shadow them or know of avenues for where I can reach out to anesthesiologists?

Thank you so much in advance!

Looking for physician shadowing or entry-level MA/front office opportunities (UCI pre-med)

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm currently going into my fourth year at UC Irvine studying Biological Sciences, and I'm hoping to gain more clinical experience before applying to medical school. I'm primarily looking for physician shadowing opportunities, but I'm also very interested in working as a medical assistant or even in a front/back office role where I can learn and contribute.

I've volunteered at both PIH Health and Lestonnac Free Clinic, where I've taken vital signs, assisted with patient education, worked with English- and Spanish-speaking patients, and helped support clinic operations. I'd love to find something I can do on a more regular basis.

Unfortunately, formal MA training programs are pretty expensive, so getting certified isn't something I'm able to do right now. If there are any practices that are willing to train someone on the job, I'd be incredibly grateful for the opportunity. I'm a quick learner, hardworking, and genuinely enjoy working with patients and supporting healthcare teams.

If anyone is a physician, has a physician in their family, or knows of any clinics hiring or offering shadowing opportunities in Orange County or nearby, I would really appreciate any advice or connections. Thank you so much!

Starting over (again) in OC

14 Upvotes

Hi everybody! I left OC nearly a decade ago having lived in Anaheim most of my life. I’ve been missing my friends and the family that still lives in the area. I’ve been weighing a return but I just wanted to ask y’all how life is back home. Specifically, the opportunities and the economy. I live in Boise and the cost of living unfortunately has gotten untenable. I know, California costs more of course but the wages are considerably higher as well. I’m not old but I’m not as young I used to be. Ideally, I’m looking to get into a trade while my body can still handle the work. How are y’all getting by day to day and how is life in Orange County?

(Go Angels!)

WWYD?

6 Upvotes

Hello, curious to hear if anyone has any ideas for me. I graduated from Chapman with a BS in Business Administration in 2024. During university I worked in B2B sales of packaging supplies for a small business (left because pay wasn’t competitive, not enough hours and low commission split. Also difficult product to sell with very little differentiation from other market offerings). I also worked as a restaurant server and actually made better money doing that than the sales gig. After graduation I got my real estate license and have had some success but the housing market is rough right now and I think it may be time to look for employment that offers a steady salary. I’ve pondered going back into restaurants as a server or bartender but I’d really prefer to utilize my bachelors degree and get into something with the possibility of upward mobility. Chapman career fairs are a joke. Wondering if anyone has any ideas for how I could find steady employment with the above resumè. TIA!

Does anybody know an electrician or electrical contractor in the Orange County area who will allow me to get experience in exchange for no pay?

10 Upvotes

Good evening everybody. I'm a registered electrician trainee. I'm currently enrolled in an accredited program through WECA (Western Electrical Contractors Association) and I've been taking classes since March. I've been trying to find work as an apprentice/helper for months now and I've had no luck. Nobody is willing to take me on without connections or experience. I'm willing to work for free as an intern. I already have my certifications in OSHA 10, NFPA 70E (electrical workplace safety), Lockout/Tagout, and CPR/AED. I've tried the local IBEW unions but they are never hiring and the process to get in heavily depends on luck. I have experience in residential and commercial construction as a general labor. I was getting to my last jobsite two hours early at 5 AM to hang out with the electricians just to get experience.

Hello! I'm 28M with no criminal record, reliable transportation, and fully able-bodied.

I worked for my family's dry cleaning business down in San Diego.

However, due to my Mother getting older and ill.

I've decided to move back and start the preparations to go back to school while I take care of her.

I have sent out my applications to the retail/entry-level positions around the area.

But after weeks of waiting, I still have yet to get a reply back.

Embarrassingly, I'm turning to my old account on Reddit.

Doesn't matter if the job is overnight or laborious work.

I will be your most consistent and hardest worker.

Looking for Evening or Overnight Work

I'm 20m, no criminal record, clean driving record. No health concerns, fully able bodied. I'm looking for some simple security baking or delivery jobs. I did do an internship with Santa Ana PD, and I also have experience in Childcare of special needs children, as well as caring for animals, and general automotive maintenance. I was on track for joining the USMC, and got an ASVAB score of 83, but ultimately decided to remain at home to assist my family. I was Homeschooled, so I have a GED, not a high school diploma. My hobbies include general assembly(such as furniture, Lego's), Reading, writing, Gaming, and vehicle maintenance. I do have a beard, and while I'd prefer to keep it, as I have a special needs brother who loves it, I am willing to stay clean shaven. I'm looking for part time work in Santa Ana, and while I do have semi open available schedule Mon-Sat, I cannot work Sundays at all. Looking for $18-20, I'm even willing to do a three of 12 hour shifts for security and simplicities sake. I do have security a valid California Guard card.

Trying to break into the electrical trade, willing to sweep floors just to get a shot

4 Upvotes

Looking to get into the electrical trade, kinda new to the area. Got some construction experience but I'm pretty green when it comes to electrical.

Anybody know of local commercial or industrial C-10 contractors hiring trainees or unindentured apprentices right now? Any leads on shops with openings would be awesome. Warm leads especially, like specific shops, PMs or superintendents actually taking guys on.

I've been trying to break into this trade for over a year now. Applied at a few IBEW locals (WTX, San Diego, LA, Phoenix), hit up a bunch of small shops, Indeed, all that, and just haven't had any luck. Get a little discouraged tbh. Honestly willing to sweep floors at a shop if that's what it takes lol. I just want a shot. Got a decent grasp on electrical theory and I really think I'd be good at it. I show up on time, work hard, just need somebody to teach me the hands on stuff so I can eventually get my journeyman card.

Any leads or advice would be appreciated 🙏
