Haha yes! Came to visit my grandma for her 80th birthday in AZ and found a Starbucks open to study at today. To most it is a holiday to relax, to me it is another day to work on RC before the test coming up.
I’ve heard Seattle in particular is a more difficult market to get into if you didn’t go to school there. However, I have a friend who went to school in AZ, worked for a few years for a firm in AZ, then transferred to a firm in Seattle.
