Question for moving to California as a pharmacist

I may potentially need to move to California in the Bay Area (SF, Palo Alto, San Jose) and I'm wondering what the job market out there is, specifically for hospital jobs.

I graduated with a Pharm.D in the Midwest and have been working for a top Midwest hospital for 2+ years as a Clinical (Staff Pharmacist) but I do not have residency. I know new grads who didn't graduate from a CA school have a tough time competing for a job in CA. Realistically, what are my chances of finding a job within 6 months to a year of looking. I would prefer to stay in hospital.

I'd say decent, the biggest hang up will be whether you have an active CA license. Most employers will want that uncertainty taken care of before calling you.
