I moved from the NYC area (NYC job) to Michigan for cheaper cost of living. I told my employer I either continue 100% remotely or I will find another job. I am grateful my employer let me stay on. I presented it nicely, but it was an ultimatum. My approach was to express (honestly) that I wanted to stay with the company, but the opportunity of living in a state closer to my friends and with a calmer pace of life was too much to pass up. In my case I bought a house for $150k and will be paying much lower property taxes than I did in NJ. This move and 100% remote has been a major win across all dimensions for me.
