Having just battled the job market, many offers for remote work take your CoL into account; they aren’t paying Seattle salaries to people who live in MN.

I went from a fully remote role to a hybrid role when I switched. I was successfully able to negotiate upwards because if they are going to require me to commute, then I will need more cash to cover that expense. It was the easiest negotiation I have ever done.

(So now I commute into a mostly empty office to join the same webexes, but if that’s how they want to spend their money, that’s their business. My workday still ends at the same time)
