Are there any legitimately successful trading desks in L.A.???
One is mentioned in Liar's Poker...
I would appreciate any names of firms which have trading desks in LA or LA-focused hedge-funds.

we all want to live the LA lifestyle making NYC cash, as my "name" implies, I am an LA transplant... fucking sucks.
So...there are successful trading desks in LA?
What sucks, exactly?
I'm from southern CA, and I would love to stay.
theHam1, mate, I live in OC We have Pimco in Newport Beach You can also find buy side firms in LA area, but dont expect any sell side desk in Socal
Too bad. That's what I thought.
Sounds like I'm going to have to "suffer" for a couple of years in NY before moving to LA!
TheHam1, NY is not that bad.. my first impression was not that good, i missed socal, but later the city grows on you! you can walk everywhere, there's everything for everyone there! OK.. i dont work for NY tourism
buysude pay is not so great, at least, LA buyside -think 'mutual,' not 'hedge'...
I was being sarcastic with "suffer" - but only a little...
L.A. - cheaper cost of living and I believe I would prefer the girls. I'm used to the SoCal dolled-up J.A.P.'s on the beaches of the OC...tall, athletic surfer girls...tans...bikini's...girls who have been driving Benz's since they were 16.
That's hard to leave, in my opinion.
