This is a good point. I'm leaving Indy at some point -- but it is very hard to move from Indy (low cost of living) to SFC or any coast (high cost of living). Especially considering the (current) lack of jobs coming on the market these days.

Given the market, I think the good plan is to either Move there if you know someone to crash with and try to find a job, but if you dont, try to do your own thing and build some resume credibility (read create some web apps or commit some code to something notable) and try again in 6 months.

My resume was sparse because I've been doing pretty much all freelance work since graduation. Didn't hurt at all. There are hundreds of jobs out here for good developers.

My cost of living per month is about $2k. It's what you make it. I would try to save up $2k-4k and make the move. If you can't make it happen in 1 or 2 months, make sure you have enough to get a plane ride home.
