Companies may prioritize locals for various reasons. They may need people to turn up in the flesh at times. Plus, there's always some local prejudice, if you're familiar with someone's location you're just more in sync with them. It's probably not a good idea to play games by misrepresenting your location, though it's possible you could get away with it.
That's what I figured. Just needed a fresh POV before I took drastic measures out of desperation - thanks!
I've wondered this as well. I'm also remote belonging to a smaller city and trying to get to a bigger market like NYC. I've considered borrowing a friends address or just moving now since I'm remote but I don't have the current salary to support living in somewhere like NY long term if the job doesn't materialize.
To be fair, clients that choose NYC companies may also be looking for NYC sensibility.
I haven’t applied for a new position in almost two years, so maybe I’m forgetting the process—but why do you need to disclose your address at all during the interview/hiring process?
I know I don’t include an address on my resume and the only questions I’ve faced were “can you be in the office 2 times a week” or whatever. If you are willing to move for a job, than your application (in a general sense) shouldn’t look much different than a local.
I can see the hiring manager become bias against someone if they are hiring for a local position and see someone apply who clearly marks that they are not local.
Are you expecting relocation assistance? Or is it a matter of “I need the job commitment first before I move”? Because if it’s the former, that is likely a barrier. If it’s the latter, they shouldn’t need an address until you are filing hiring paperwork.
Got it. I understand.
Idk-in my mind, if you are committed to moving and not planning to backtrack, I think it’s ethically okay to put the city the job is in as your location.

This was pre-Covid so I recognize things have drastically changed and the market is sooo different. But I did relocate from LA to NYC and didn’t move until I had a job in New York lined up. I was just very upfront that I was already apartment hunting and going to move on my own (aka the company wouldn’t need to pay to relocate me) in every single application and interview. Which helped me land a job, in case that’s a more helpful approach than listing a random address
