Cost of living is a factor in salary negotiation but not so much in remote positions now.

That is untrue. Some companies do adjust your compensation based on COL even if you're working remotely. Google is not going to pay you Bay Area compensation if you're working remotely from a random city in Kansas.

Since forever, sadly. It's only in the last 5-10 years that companies are rethinking this policy.

Super common for it to be a major factor. Some companies are changing a bit, especially with remote work. It can be super frustrating to earn less just because of where you live... but it usually coincides with cost of living.

For those of you that work from home, is there any salary or benefits that would convince you to return to the office full time?
