Which California cities have the most head of technology jobs?
The cities with the most head of technology openings in California are San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Menlo Park.

How can I get hired as a head of technology in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic path is moving into technology management from a senior individual-contributor role such as staff engineer, solutions architect, or technical program manager, then building leadership credentials from there. Large California employers including Kaiser Permanente, Wells Fargo, and major university systems run internal leadership development programs that promote technical contributors into management.
