No shit. If the work pool you can pull from is nation wide you can pay less. If employees are ok with that, they will take less for the flexibility. I personally take less pay to be fully remote. If I was willing to commute an hour+ every day both directions I could make far more than I am making now. I also am working hard to move the fuck away from this commie hell-hole to somewhere I will have space/land.
Ill take lower pay to be able to live anywhere I want (Away from the commies and the soul crushing cities with their crime, homelessness, drugs, etc). If I am lucky, I might even have kids. I would never raise them here.
On top of that all, working remove I will still make well over what the local (Where I intend to move) non-remote work doing the same thing would pay. It will be a net gain for me either way.
In my current lifestyle/balance. You are going to have to pay me ~200-300% more (at a minimum) to be in-office even 3 days a week. It is not worth living in a big city. Also, ill just quit after a year or two with a ton of savings, move away anyway and get a remote job that pays less.

>Today, nearly half of managers anticipate challenges in meeting candidates' compensation expectations. And when the gap between salary expectation and an offer is too great, many employers are negotiating remote and hybrid work to get candidates to sign on the dotted line, according to Robert Half's recently published 2025 U.S. Hiring Outlook. Some candidates accept 5% to 15% less pay in exchange for getting to work from home, Theresa L. Fesinstine, founder of human resources advisory peoplepower.ai, told Fortune. "There's this unspoken exchange rate between flexibility and comp, and for some candidates, it's worth a significant trade-off," said Fesinstine, who has more than two decades of leadership experience in HR. This is especially true "for those who value work-life balance or are saving on commute costs."
