So presumably once a sufficient number of employers switch to accepting fully-remote on the reg, "local competitor" won't mean much anymore. This impacts "local-first" companies more, right, because their pool of candidates will shrink/be poached, so it will put more pressure on them to switch to "remote accepted" as well

So you as an employee will compete with anyone in the country/world purely based on your skills/expertise, regardless of your cost of living.
