Q: I’m in New York City and have been looking for an in-house job in Silicon Valley for two years. My job demands have made a search difficult. What are the risks/rewards of quitting my job and moving to California to focus solely on my job search?

A: The technology industry dominates the San Francisco Bay Area (which includes Silicon Valley) and is home to the most high-profile companies on earth. It is a mecca that attracts some of the best and the brightest professionals … including lawyers.
