Assuming OP can program, finding a job in one of the code mines isn't going to be hard. What is going to be hard is:

1. Finding a place to live (The SF market is god awful. Living in the southbay without a car will limit any "networking" opportunities.)

2. Living within your means. We are not in Kansas anymore, that 6 figure salary in the code mines will vanish quickly when you add up rent, living expenses and entertainment (Oh, also if you come from a state with no state-tax, we have those around here too, fun!)

3. Manage to find time to hack on this project that is going "to change the world". At first, you will definitely want to go to every meetup in town and every beering event that startups provide, you will end up not having time to actually build a product. So dedicate sometime to do that too. :-)
