I have noticed a definite shift in the jobs on HN’s job board. Either they are hiring outside of the U.S., or they want you near SF/NY/Seattle. The job itself might be listed as “remote U.S.” but if you dig into the details, they expect you to live near one of the tech hubs—I assume so that they can have in-person meetings sometimes and maybe transition to a traditional in-person office easily in the future.

One of the few HN companies still hiring remotely across the U.S. dropped their estimated engineering pay range by about 25% (if I am recalling correctly).
