thanks! will be counting on it. >> You can start applying in SF right now, while still in New York. Won't they prefer local candidates?

Make it clear you intend to move there. You can certainly get a local - area code 415 - phone number. If you want to keep your current NYC number, you could get a second phone, or alternatively use something like Google Voice for a 415 number. Do you know anyone in San Francisco? Perhaps they would be willing to receive mail for you. Alternatively you could get a post office box. After getting the box, immediately file a USPS change of address form. It's good for I think 90 days. However if someone wants you to interview without much advance notice, you'll have to cop to the fact that you're in New York. There are some companies that are willing to pay relocation. Careers 2.0 at http://careers.stackoverflow.com/ http://careers.stackoverflow.com/ indicates that. The job market in SF is very hot right now, so I expect lots of employers, even if they cannot pay relocation, would be happy with non-local candidates.

I just looked, I have roughly 40 companies in my spreadsheet. However I have incomplete info on most of them; I'll post the companies whose info is complete, then I'll go back and get the rest of the information for the other companies. What I list are the name of each company, which links its homepage, it's Jobs or Careers page (if any), it's Contact page (again, if any), and the city it's located - all San Francisco in this case, but for, say, Vancouver, Washington, I also list Camas employers on Vancouver's page.

I just posted an actual marked-up page, but with only two companies. I'll be posting more Real Soon Now, however at the moment I am not feeling so good, so I need to spend some time doing something other than hunting for Careers pages. But have faith, I'll dig up lots of companies for you. I have some friends in SF, if it would help for me to introduce you to them. Two of them are coders, one is a website project management consultant. That is, if you need a website, he'll get it done for you, but he hires other people to do the actual work.
