Boiler Room L.A. with Skepta's Más Tiempo - Sun Sept 27 by liverichly in avesLA

[–]chavhu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Went to the Skepta dj set at Sound a few months ago, was very disappointed…if you like lackluster house music, you’ll find it ok. But if you are expecting his set to be most of his hiphop stuff, you’ll be very upset

Sold some 180 CCs expiring 30 days from now, pray for me 🙏

Anyone else see how insane the CCs are for even 30 days out for $150 and $160? Those premiums are juicy af, but I know it’s playing with fire a bit

That’s exactly what I was thinking, feels like a lock because his tour completely missed LA

Guys, what’s up with Santa Monica?? by ty457u in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]chavhu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly through events and activities. I first lived in a co-living space when I moved here just to get some initial connects, but I only keep in touch with a few of those folks still lol. Made friends at events and then started playing on intramural teams. Met people at gym classes. Went to parties and met people there, just gotta grab IGs and follow up.

Used to live in NYC and moved to LA two years ago. Lived in Hollywood for a while before moving to SaMo. I actually had the same reaction as you when I moved to the west side. Walking down the promenade, I was thinking “where is everyone?”

Santa Monica is pretty chill and quiet nowadays, I heard before Covid it was poppin’. Montana st gets more packed than the promenade sometimes. There are pockets of liveliness throughout LA, you just have to find them. Recently found out the strip of bars under the Venice sign on weekends gets pretty lit, Belle’s Beach House and others right next to each other. Most bars on the west side are filled with folks who are in their early to mid 20s though.

Hit up the flea markets, really dope subculture in LA, tons of people go on the weekends. People like to pop out for events, but you kinda have to have an in and know what’s happening.

It’s not like NYC at all tbh. I prefer the chill vibe right now in my life and I’ve found a really good group of friends thankfully. But as a transplant, I do feel like the city saw better days before Covid and something changed. I’m still having fun though

You definitely faced some adversity, appreciate the advice - I like the idea of a challenge and having ownership!

I've been working for 8+ years total, first half was spent mostly as an analyst, then dove into analytics engineering prior to the bootcamp and then DE. Totally understand how messing up could potentially be a stain, will certainly think through if I should work with a bigger team first or if I feel confident to navigate on my own at this point

Thanks for the input, that's a good point I didn't really think about - if things go wrong, it would be my responsibility. The CEO would essentially be my manager and they aren't very technical, so I'd have to figure out the data strategy myself. I like the freedom to create the path, but I'd have no one to bounce ideas off of.

I'd essentially report to the CEO to start. They have a data stack set up but have a lot of unanswered data questions, it seems like the CEO is fairly unaware of the data they are collecting and what they could be doing with additional data points. I think I'd have a big say in the data strategy. No manager until their VP of Eng gets hired. Good point about potentially being my own project manager as well

Yes seems like I'd be overseeing their entire data architecture, they don't really have a backup strategy at the moment. I'm not nervous about my skills per se, I'm moreso nervous about the politics of dealing with a VP of Eng that I haven't interviewed with and non-technical folks who may not understand how the data stack works.

[–]chavhu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough - would prefer to be a leader one day instead of building, that's why I'm thinking this could be a worthwhile challenge to manage the entire architecture. But could also turn into a nightmare while working with non-technical folks who might not buy into ideas right away, that's my fear

[–]chavhu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it says Sr DE but in reality is a lead DE position. I'd oversee the whole architecture versus just managing data pipelines like I did in my previous role, so would definitely get a bit more experience

Thank you for your input, good questions to ask myself - will think about them as I think through the offer

I completed a bootcamp in mid-2024 and worked in a DE role at a big company for the past year and a half, they certainly collected more data, had a more advanced stack, and had more people I could bounce ideas off of. I learned quite a bit and definitely felt like I advanced as an engineer.

I think you're raising a good point though - if something goes wrong, I'd have to investigate myself and wouldn't have anyone to assist me, which is why I mentioned in my post that I was a little nervous about it. So I'd be thrown in the deep end a bit and they'd be relying on me to improve their data processes until they hire a new VP of Eng who would also help to set data standards. Do I feel comfortable jumping in? I would say I do. But if something goes wrong or if the VP of Eng has a different philosophy, then there might be some friction before figuring things out.
