This isn't really answering your question, but what's your motivation for wanting to "freelance until [you] find a job"? Are you expecting it will take you time to find the job you really like, or are you just trying to get more experience before you look for a full-time job?
If you are a good programmer, the job market for full-timers has never been better -- especially if you are willing & able to move to the bay area (a big if, I realise).
Good catch, yes, I do anticipate that it will take me some time to find a job I'd like. Also I don't really just want to take on a job for the sake of having one, I want it to be a good fit on both sides.
I am willing but not able to move to the Bay area at this point. As I explained to another poster, I have no ties to Victoria besides an aging parent. And its important to me not to leave just yet, because its my mom and there's really no one else close to her.
I do realize that it would be the ideal place for me to be at this nascent stage of my career though.
