I'll just add my data point. I joined a company as a remote Senior Full Stack Engineer at 95k a year. It was a jump up from my previous company where I just negotiated up to 80k from 65k. This was in Northern Virginia, where 95k was pretty decent - though toward the end of my 1.5 years there I was expecting a major jump to 110, 120k based on the work. When I started asking for my raise, I learned it's a lot harder to negotiate as a remote employee and was laid off. I picked up a contracting type gig where I negotiated a decent pay for where I moved (SoCal), but at the end of the month they decided I wasn't worth paying almost 2x as much as their devs in Poland/Brazil and such. I then took a nice paying, stable in-office job and couldn't be happier :)
