Sadly the case for me seems to be that there are very nice walkable areas in these small cities, but everytime I interview for a job it turns out the office in in some way out suburban office park, so I have no way of commuting
- r00fus 7y agoThe idea is that you work remote not try to find employment in the new locale.
- analog31 7y agoI wonder if there's a way to split the difference, for instance get a job at the new locale, but gradually switch to working from home. This would at least be "less remote" from the employer's standpoint because you could bop into the office for meetings when needed.
- r00fus 7y agoWhile this sounds attractive, the major benefit (salary/cost-of-living arbitrage) completely goes away. Local employers can't afford to pay you your big-city salary, and the benefit for a big-city employer to keep you remote is retention and a known quantity (assuming you're worth your salt). It's a win-win for the worker and their employer. The article focuses on the supposed loser: the township that loses out on a local job - but the newly relocated remote worker adds to the tax base and pays for groceries, etc.
