Here's what I know from my family who live in Laguna.

  1. Great beaches, fun towns
  2. Need either a car or to live right on a bus line/biking or walking distance (very expensive, like NYC expensive)
  3. I've heard PIMCO has a very early start to the day since US markets open 6:30 AM PST. Not sure if that translates to leaving early though
  4. Very very good weather and good food

If I may ask, did you get an invite to do the interview for portfolio analyst? I ask because I applied and haven't heard back yet.

 

Interns all have very regulated work hours, so you're not allowed to work more than 40 hours a week, and mandatory 1 hour lunch. All of which once you become full time that hour lunch will go away and your weekly hours will prob rise by 10-20 hours at least. Expect to start at 5:30am PST.
