It is all beautiful while you like your job, you have raises and all is rosy. I am more concerned is when you spend a few years there and things go south you basically have no other employer to turn to. Manhattan is full of firms of various size and caliber so you can always shop around and find another job possibly with a good bump in salary without that impacting your life, commute is still the same etc. Once you are in CA PIMCO has an upper hand on you as you really have no other option. Am I wrong?Speaking of Little Corona beach, it's the only one where I've seen dolphins in the surf line. So, I gave the Bing image creator the task of recreating that and it did a damn fine job. This is looking north, toward Big Corona beach, while the other shot I posted was looking south:

I tried to research on google but could not find some summary or blogpost etc, I really don't know much about culture at PIMCO. I do have friends at GS so I know a bit more. Can you tell me what to be aware of when it comes to PIMCO? I am more concerned about a job being less valuable on the resume when it comes to making another jump at some point in the future.They are clearly both located in very expensive and (if you like that sort of thing) very nice areas. Both pay well, although I really don’t have much of an idea of which pays more. The cultures are probably very different, and important. You just have to research that. Bill Gross has been gone long enough that his toxic rule is probably mostly history, but who knows? Corporate DNA is a weird thing. Goldman remains Goldman, as far as I can tell, so you can take any Sunday morning off that you’d like, as long as it doesn’t become a habit. And Allianz is actually quite a bit bigger than GS by most measures. So, while I happen to be living in NYC and working awkwardly close to Goldman, if put back to scratch and given the opportunities, I’d probably go with Newport Beach. I have golfed Pelican Hill, which is beautiful.

And I am curious who do you think will pay more? I can't even guess but for the fact I find real estate is more affordable in the north east and so as other expenses I would think too. Cost of living is higher in SoCal.
