I've actually moved twice and the company shouldered the cost (once from NY to LA, then LA to SF). Some startups and most big companies will relocate, and will also adjust your salary to meet the market value of the area you move to. Also, geographies that don't have as many devs will tend to be open to relocation (Denver, Austin, Seattle, etc.) The startup I work at (whitetruffle) just moved our full time NY developer to SF. He has been remote for about a year now with us working from home, and wanted to be in SF with the rest of the team. A lot of companies who are also hiring using whitetruffle (as it is a recruiting platform) have marked their jobs as "relocate OK" or "remote OK" and our candidates have moved from LA to SF, DC to SF, UK to LA, UK to NY, etc. It's great to be able to work face to face sometimes, so I hope you can find something you like soon like I did!

Thanks for replying! Thats good to know that it happens more than I thought.

I actually signed up at whitetruffle and thats what got me thinking about it. I saw that some of the jobs had "Remote OK".

I will definitely keep looking around for a job that will fit my skills.

Thanks again!
