Most of my friends in LA work on the west side or downtown, a few in glendale / burbank area as well. There are quite a few jobs in Costa Mesa / Irvine in OC also.
Note that OC is currently in a state of shock as this is ground zero for subprime lending and home base for huge housing firms. Lots of IT folks coming out of these shops, and many of them are very good. It's not like it was even a year ago in OC... look for a recovery next year or even after that for IT spending in OC.
