Of course I do have a legit answer if TC is not just trolling.

Living in cities like San Fran or Los Angeles has high amount of job opportunities, which also means high amounts of people are going to flock to them. Most of these people who move into California for job opportunities tend to be over achievers who want to increase their chances in getting picked. This means being number 1 at what they do. I know I have a manager who's from Kansas that moved to LA specifically for the position he has at our firm. He's decorated af with a very impressive resume and work experience.

But honestly, those are the minority though. Most of us Californians living in the cities are just trying to live our lives and don't care about being overachievers.

But of course I have a feeling this topic was made specifically for trolling, so whatever at this point.


So asking a question about a state is trolling? Maybe it wouldn't be so annoying if I wasn't constantly surrounded by these people. So you're saying that most of the California transplants aren't from there? Is California not a state that is obsessed with their status / appearance?


You were doing more than just asking a question, but making belittling answers like generalizing hippies and leftists, hence why I felt you were trolling.

Anyways with that aside, what you describe are over achievers and I gave my guess as to why these over achievers are flocking over to cities like LA and SF. A lot of executives I know from Accounting Firms in LA aren't even native here and came here for the very reasons I stated. Like my manager from Kansas, which his degree and titles, it would absolutely be useless over there vs. here where he is making a comfortable 6 figures and moving up the ranks faster than me. Hell, I'm not even originally from LA, I moved from a rural area in Southern Texas mostly because of the job opportunities. So yes you can say these overachievers care about their status/appearance because it appeals to them.

A lot of natives from the area don't give a shit and if you're surrounded by assholes, then get new company.
