Moving for a job experiences

in Off-Topic
Hello all,
I come to you with more questions yay!!!!
So I am probably going to move in a few months to take an IT job in California and I honestly can't wait.
Have any of you moved across country for a job before?
Did you know anyone where you moved?
How did you go about finding a living situation or did you rent a hotel??

Once you have a feel for the work, the area and demands your time like commute, hopefully you can identify someone or people in the new organization who can give you a local's perspective as to where to look for a place to live. Yes, real estate agents and apartment finders are available but also work on commission. Seriously, find someone local you can trust then approach the sales folks armed with more information. Guessing your going to be changing time zones as well. Initially its not too bad but may creep up on you, depending on how sensitive your circadian rhythm tends to be. The real hassle will be calling people in the old time zone. Oppps! Its too late/early to call the girl/boyfriend, parents, etc. So be prepared to occasionally stop yourself there. Doesn't sound like much till you realize your phone call is connected to someone four time zones in the future/past.
Let us know when congratulations are in order.
