It's almost inconceivable to me that companies would go fully remote and not over time adjust salary downwards to something more like the median demands of the available labor force (i.e., those whose workday fits within a 8:00-6:00 window.

I like living in a HCOL area, so I'm not happy about fully remote work. The most I can hope for is that the wage drop doesn't too far outpace the concomitant drop in the cost of living in these expensive areas.
