From someone who just moved to SF 4 months ago:
1. Bring lots of money (probably applies to LA as well)
2. If you can, dump your car
3. If you need a car, get CA plates within 10 days
4. Once you have your plates, get a res. parking permit ASAP!
5. Get your smog check before you do #3
6. Budget at least $100/month for parking and other tickets for the first few months
6. Sign up for every Eventbrite and Meetup event you can find that interest you and go (you should have stuff scheduled for at least 2-3 days a week if not more
Being a techie in SF has been absolutely amazing. The startup community here is an incredible force. Meeting people is a no-brainer if you put yourself out there. I work as an independent consultant with clients located across the US so I can't speak to the job market in SF. After being here only 4 months, I am thinking it will be very difficult to leave when that day comes since the opportunities are just incredible.
