I'm also remote, and the 15% salary cut was covered by cost of living and state tax changes. Plus, the ability to support my family's goals by living in a different place is incredibly incredibly valuable.

But the Raleigh-Durham office situation is bullshit. They are paid less than US-REMOTE-NC. They are the only location in the US that had their equity refreshes cut directly rather than ratcheted down. It is the lowest paid location in the US and the research triangle isn't like 2009 Detroit in terms of housing prices. And teams were moved there so if you prefer working on site then it wasn't like it was an optional pay cut for a different location.
