Are you me? I'm in the exact same boat. It's not even just SF or NY - companies in Reston, VA or Tyson's Corner won't even consider even a partially remote schedule.

I've gone so far as to offer to commute from central MD to northern VA a couple times a week - no dice. Gotta be onsite every day in their open-office floor plan where 90% of the workday is spent with noise-canceling headphones on and almost all communication is through Slack.

It's maddening how the pendulum keeps swinging away from remote work in this area.

Not you, as I'm in South Eastern WV, but have applied to a few companies in Blacksburg, VA(1hr) and Charlotte, NC(4.5hr). I don't even mind showing up every day, to any in Blacksburg, or relocating to a midpoint near Winston-Salem, where I can still make it back in 2-3 hours if I need to.

I've literally dropped a quarter of my previous salary during negotiations, well aware of CoL differences, and had them come back at one-third to one-half as what they were thinking. But it's definitely hard to find any places that would offer remote, or even telecommutd options at a reaonable salary.
