Yes if you can literally live wherever

Absolutely. Can drastically reduce cost of living by moving out of NYC to make that 180k go much further on a day to day basis.

MD2 - are you saying it's important because the person is expensive and could be looked at as opportunity to be cut?

100%! Cost of living in NY plus quality of life there just sucks. Much better anywhere else. Go for it!

Depends. If the firm has implemented electronic monitoring (like Insightful, ActivTrak, Hubstaff, etc.) to keep tabs on remote workers, that'd be a hard 'no.' Otherwise, the flexibility is great, so, yes.

Depends on the role and your experience. Fully remote sounds great but is it a good way to develop

Was that a serious question? Of course! No second thoughts given...

Yes, if you will leave New York.

Hell ya - would still go to the office. And wouldn’t move. 180 is just a-ok. No kidz no mortgage. Why tf not?

Yes

Heck yeah, don't fall for the status trap

absolutely.
