but... you can see people gaming it though Claiming residence in SF or NYC during the hiring process, then starting working somewhere else... The best way about this is for FB to split the difference. Eg. if your average tc is 300k in SF, and it is 200k in North Carolina, if you decide to move there, you will be slotted down to something in between so it becomes a win win.

It's rudimentary to see where employees log in from.

> Claiming residence in SF or NYC during the hiring process, then starting working somewhere else... It would be a bit of a cat and mouse game. Companies can trace where you are working from VPN logins. I suppose you could VPN through San Francisco then VPN into your corporation’s network, but they probably monitor for use of common VPN providers. Plus during your meetings, etc, you coworkers would notice if you moved.

  Whatever solution you use for your legal address could also provide a dedicated VPN and even mail scanning/forwarding. For example, renting a shared room in an apartment with 9 other roommates (one or two who live there full time), and use the premise Internet connection for a VPN server with a nice clean residential IP. Even more practical if there is an option to stay overnight occasionally, and your full-size residence is only several hours drive away. I can even see these type of arrangements arising naturally when roommates move out. Watch your MTU though!

One would imagine they would want your regular dev to be in cheaper locations (same TZ perhaps) and only very good dev in higher cost locations. The land market cost moves on this could be huge if many companies do this. IMHO it could be bigger than any effect UBI might have had, as typically UBI would see lower earners flee high cost to new "marginal" areas with their UBI income. In this case it's mid to high earners who are suddenly able to flee the nest, which I feel could have a larger impact on land costs. Very interesting times.
