Job or House first?

I am originally from Kansas but have been living in Europe (Spain, Italy, Albania) for the past 4 years now and I am finally going back to the US.  I want to try Boston so that I can keep the European/multicultural feel to life but I am not sure if it is best to get a job before I get there or not?
Does anybody have any insight on finding work in the Boston area?
I have enough to get by for several months without work but I don't want to use it up since I hear rent in Boston is expensive! 
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks
