Unless you find one of those unicorns with compensation that's independent of location, your pay will be far lower, even after accounting for cost of living.

> More interesting work this is genuinely an interesting take. wait but why? >Better Networking ok, but the people building companies or developing interesting projects aren't exactly the guy hanging out at the local bar... seems like if you are interested in a niche subject there are pretty clear cut humans to interact with. probably better odds of running into them on hacker news than the local 7-11 > Unless you find one of those unicorns with compensation that's independent of location, your pay will be far lower, even after accounting for cost of living. I don't buy this argument. 2020 freed everyone except low performers. if you are a low performer they still want you to show up, and with good reason.
