I’d take a job in NL only if it let me relo there for awhile. My bro did that for a few posts, and got a year or two in new country to explore on the weekends with each new posting.
So while remote-first is how I want to work, I’d want resources and ability to relo to a new place every few years. You need to be in place that renews you mentally when you’re not working.
Especially in I-T, if you can’t go somewhere new and enjoy new sounds, sights, smells and customs, and you’re stuck in a sad cube jungle with no excitement at the end of the week, you may as well report to the Soylent green plant.
Time to refit the cruise ship for live-aboard remote global work for me and like 6000 of my friends. Starlink works on the cruise runs, right?
