Hi, I'm moving to LA soon and will be working near the Playa Vista area. Does anyone have any suggestions for ideal neighborhoods to move to with that commute in mind, an apartment with in-unit laundry, and a max rent of $2800-$3000?
My salary will be 130k, and my wife is looking for IT work that will bring our combined income to >200k eventually. She also has some VA disability ($2kish a month) that will cover a portion of our costs.
Has anyone made a career shift from tech writing to proposal writing and noticed any challenges or significant differences (aside from the processes and workshops)? I've been working in government as a tech writer for 10 years and feel like my skills and career path have hit a ceiling. Proposal writing feels like it would be different enough to make for an interesting branch off.
I've made inroads interviewing for proposal writer positions and am confident my skills can transfer over. My main concern is the work life balance and avoiding burnout from working too many hours to keep up with company demands. Any advice or tips would be welcome!
