Sorry but this comes off as really pompous. Essentially what you're saying is that I am so good, you will be hired on your terms.

If you had gone in with the mind set, "I want to work locally, and relocating isn't something that works for me." I can respect that, but when you say I wont locate for YOU, comes off as saying, hey I make the decisions not you. Or an attention grabbing title for a post.

For a full time employee, remote work is like a long distance relationship, more often than not, they just do not work. Heck contract remote work is already difficult as is.

Perhaps if you read it as "Why I Won't RELOCATE to Work for Your Startup" it doesn't come off quite as pompous.

Is it any less pompous to say: "I would like to hire you, but you have to leave where you live and everyone you know and come to me?"

"hey I make the decisions not you"

uhh, isn't that the way it should be?
