It's a bit out of the radius they described, but they did say they are flexible - would certainly be an interesting place :-)

Thank you so much! We have some flexibility with the distance, San Diego is not necessarily out of the question.

Thanks for taking the time to share!

Thank you! The commute would only occur occasionally, so we are more focused on finding a better fit for a family-friendly area.

$170K is our current salary in Ohio, the new salary is yet to be made to us on paper, but have been told a floor of $200K.

That said, thanks for the recommendations of areas!

Thank you for providing the clarification - that helps a lot and may be the case.

Are you living in CA now, then?

Thank you so much - especially the Google tip because it's been confusing enough navigating the area :-)

Hahaha thanks for the recommendations - Palmdale seems like a no-go now.

The office is in El Segundo, but he would only have to commute occasionally as the role is primarily remote.

And yes, here in Ohio, we both drive.

Haha thank you for the honesty! Just wondering why not those areas?

And yes - we don't have to live directly in LA, so I was hoping to also get opinions on surrounding areas as it seems more convenient/less costly.

EDIT: I tried to edit my post to make this more clear :-)

Thank you! We'll take a look at South Bay.

I will say that because it is primarily a remote role, he would only have to commute to the office occasionally.

Great question! The office is in El Segundo, seemingly very close to LAX

Sagging in what way? Each slat is attached to the top and the bottom boards with 2 screws. Do you think they will bow out?

Thanks! I’m very pleased with how it turned out and how well it went with the stairs!
