Endorsement vs. CA Examination. I am moving to CA after graduation.

Hi all. I will be graduating in December and should be able to sit for the NCLEX in January. I am moving to CA and am wondering if anyone knows whether I would be better off taking the NCLEX in my home state and then applying for a CA license by endorsement or better off taking the NCLEX in CA.

I have heard that the endorsement route might actually be a little quicker (it is definitely more expensive). Any help would be great. Thanks for your time.
It might come down to your other circumstances. Do you have a job waiting in CA? Or at least financial support and a place to live? I became licensed in another state and endorsed to CA. I found CA to be slow and non-communicative, but I was eventually successful. I'm not sure how the difficulty level changes with being an out of state new grad.
