Anyone landing in Irvine, CA?

I used to live in SF back in the year of 2000. Will be bringing my spouse & child to US. They both speak moderate English and both of us need to find a job. My spouse is a full time pet sitter who runs his own company with a few staff in his own country & I’m a digital marketer of his company. I’m having a difficult time trying to figure out where we should live (SF/Irvine). The costs of living is so high in the Bay Area but however, it seems easier to find a job there. 

 

Irvine’s living environment is better & rent is also cheaper, but I have no idea about job opportunities down south. Can anyone familiar with these 2 cities give me 2 cents?

Are you a US citizen? Cost of living in the Bay Area is HIGH so if you don’t already have a career (think IT, Google etc) then that most likely isn’t a realistic option.

Hi SF is high in everything! Good development in Irvine now tho the rent is not cheap tho. But the living environment is really good! Also There are some working opportunities too, but not sure if the area nearby has pet sitter job!

I'm aware of that. But my family & relatives are all in California so this will be my only option.
