Maybe for a bit. But companies will just lower the pay/equalize it. We get paid based on demand for the city so coastal cities have higher demand. If suddenly we’re all WFH that demand lowers in coastal cities and they’ll find a new way to screw people over.

Right now, absolutely. People have moved all over the place but are still getting home office salary. In fact, many of the people who moved canceled their lease and are staying with family so they're really saving.

Not sure how companies are handling newly hired. Probably the same tbh for now with WFH. Designate the home office where you would be going in.

Ive officially transferred to a LCOL and fully remote, but kept my LA salary ($140). Husband makes similar (also remote). Our rent for a 2 bedroom went from $3300 to $750. Even if I never get a raise again, this is more than enough for us.

Yes, I worked in NYC for years then moved out west (not CA) and kept my salary.

Yeah I went from a 500 Sq ft $4,200 NYC apartment to a 2500 Sq ft house for half the price. No downsides except that it takes me longer to get to the Met if I want to go see some Van Gogh.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
