Apply somewhere else. I was going to transfer from SF to Reno to live in Tahoe (already from Auburn). Jim talked me out of it, less than 30 people hired in Reno in the past 5 years. Someone basically needs to die for a position to open, then you fight everyone else for it.

Actually planning on selling and moving to Hollister... Been working in Monterey and I can live with it down here.

Edit for replying to riq. Not sure why it didn't quote you.
