How are these 100% remote positions working? Is anyone living in one state and working in another? I’m wondering about tax consequences and bar admission in particular. Appreciate any insights!

Employers have to pay taxes based in part on where the employee lives so most won’t let you work where they don’t have an office to avoid figuring out/complying with all the local tax requirements. For firms, another reason is that even if you get barred in the state where they don’t have an office the firm for malpractice insurance reasons likely wants to say you are supervised by a partner also licensed in that state/the firm is itself licensed to do business in that state.

Obviously some firms are figuring out workarounds.

Admission is a real problem. My firm won’t allow you to live/work in a state you aren’t licensed in.

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not?

Thank you in advance!!

He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.
