Remind your employer that he's also saving money by not having to pay for an expensive office space in the city center and all the things that go with it like hiring cleaning services or building staff. Any equipment you use to work on should be either reimbursed by him or factored into your salary as well (monitor, laptop, internet connection, office chair, desk, etc). There are a lot of bargaining chips, just depends on how you present them.

- JacKTrocinskI 6y agoI guess perspective matters, in my opinion an average engineer working at Facebook should be able to afford his own house in a nice neighborhood and be able to provide for his/her family so that they live well. If that's not the case then maybe engineers ought to start forming unions or demand profit sharing from companies.
- mcovey 6y agoThe more employers willing to hire remote workers, the less this argument works. Still, I already make 1/2 as much as I could make living in Boston, living 90 miles north of it. That is "local market" salary though for a job that is ostensibly on-site (partial remote / now fully remote due to COVID).
