I kept my job in NYC and went remote in 2018 to move up here. My company started allowing that and we’d opened a satellite office earlier that year. I think it’s more of what’s possible with technology now than anything else. Slack and Zoom make it effortless to stay connected when needed and carry on as usual without having to commute and be in person. Sharepoint allows collaboration on documents in real time. I think it’s more tech advances sped up by covid than anything else.
