Hello,
I want to live and work in the USA but which city is the best for me between LA and Miami regarding people, work opportunities, weather, nightlife, ... ?
What's the pro and the cons of each ?
Thanks !

It depends what sort of work you are going to be doing. Miami is generally better in that you get a comparable climate at a lower cost of living.

I've lived in both and prefer Miami. But in the end, it depends on what your job is. If you work in Entertainment then obviously LA is the place.

Don't forget LA has a bigger electronic music scene (other than WMC of course) and Miami has the hotter, more humid weather. Also the constant threat of rain and hurricanes

Well being from Miami i will say that we have abigger house music scene than in LA.LA beats us for trance but thats because unless your PVD,or Tiesto no one goes and if they do its mostly men at trance parties so its an easy choice.
The thing that beats LA in my opinion is that we have terraces that stay open 24 hours and thats pretty sick.Space and Nocturnals Local Celebrity parties on Saturday and Sunday are bonkers.Those parties go until like 4-5 in the afternoon on a normal night.With the exception of when Morillo,Sander,and Sanchez come to Soace they take it to a whole other levelk of Marathon on the terrace. Really out of all the places ive been no one has anything that compares to the terraces we have in Downtown Miami.
I will make my full decision at the end of October when i go to see Prydz @Avalon and Craig Richards sublevel party.
I hear good things about LA,so we'll see what the hype is about.

I mean it gets hot but it rains every afternoon for a little bit so it cools it down for nighttime so its not too bad.Then again im born and raised in Miami so i might be a little more immune to the heat than most.Besides there's lots of cool stuff to do when it's hot in SOBE.Really cool daytime parties during the Summer.
Oh and yes there is no surf in Miami.Although we have lot of choice spots to surf around Fl.When Hurricanes come, the waves pick up nicely even if we dont get hit by one.Although you cant compare LA to Florida for surf.LA beats the shit out of Miami for that.
Still on topic to say that we dont have badass beaches is rediculious our water farther down south is as crystal clear as glass and our beaches arent very over populated with people and we have some pretty hot Spanish chicas roaming the beahces topless in a few beaches in Miami,if thats you kind of thing.Its deffintly up my alley.

Re: LA or Miami ?
LA has better options year round. Better weather in my opinion and you can do more things overall. Surfing year round, snowboarding near by, etc. plus if you are an IT you have lots more opportunities.
LA is also closer to Vegas
