I am hoping someone may be able to give me a little advice about relocating to California. I am an ABO/NCLE certified optician with 13 years of experience, and I also hold a NV Dispensing Optician and Contact Fitting license. I am planning a move from Wisconsin to California in April 2014, and hope to find work in the Sacramento area/suburbs. Can anyone tell me a ballpark range of salaries in that area? I would also be interested to know, from a hiring manager's standpoint, how soon is too soon to start getting my resume out, and do managers generally hire someone from out of state?
Thanks!
