Finance Opportunities in LA

Hey monkeys. Current IB analyst in NYC looking to make the move to LA in the next year or so. Curious what sort of opportunities are available for those with a year or two of an ex-IB background?

Are there many strategic finance / corp dev tech jobs in LA? Have a strong preference in moving to LA (compared to SF), so was wanting to see what types of opportunities I could look for there. Appreciate any insights!
