Move to California for Work?

Currently I work in Salt Lake City for a financial company on contract, but my background check has taken 3 months and quite honestly has pissed me off. I have applied to a business analyst position but not counting on it. I currently have a BA in Business with a Minor in Marketing and currently am in my mid 20s. As a plan B I was thinking of taking the jump and moving to Sacramento if I could land a job there or in the Bay Area. I do have a small github , have been working on a side commercial project I plan to commercialize, and also my mentor I grew up with in the Midwest lives there. I don't want to go Willy nilly into this, but if I can get a job that is concrete I am wondering if moving there from SLC might be a good idea or I am blowing hot air? I have been trying to make some new projects and learn some new things, such as Java, but not trying to rush. I mostly have dabbled with scrapping and packages like beautiful soup. Also I was thinking of sprucing up my resume and placing my LinkedIn location in SF Bay Area. Am I stupid for thinking this and also I do have a fiance who is currently not in college so would it be feasible for us to make this work? Thanks.
