You pretty much have to do this if you want to maintain different salaries in different geographic reasons. Otherwise people would be highly incentivized to move to SF/NYC for 6 months to get hired then move back to their cheap COL permanent location.
- toiletfuneral 6y agowhat's the downside of that?
- amiga_500 6y agoI feel someone is setting up a company that provides a virtual location in SV for a small fee, but you really live say in Vermont.
- harryh 6y agoLying to your employer definitely sounds like a good plan. I'm sure that will work out well for the people that try it!
- amiga_500 6y agoPersonally I'd rather be paid less and avoid the stress of getting found out, plus it's not ethical. However life has shown me many people who would not share this perspective.

The first year is when learning tools and culture as well as developing relationships is most crucial. I would say someone moving from in-office to remote has a big advantage over someone getting hired remote.
