Remote salary based on location-I m looking for a full remote job and currently lives in NYC 5 borough but planning to move to NJ commutable to NYC. Will my NJ address impact my salary? I m keeping my NY house so technically I can still claim to live in Brooklyn.

I would keep a post office box that offers a NY address and that way your location is NY.

Don't let anyone offer you less salary based on your address. Your salary should be equal to the work you are doing/value you are adding. that has nothing to do with where you live.

If the salary is location dependent, will they adjust if you move after you're hired? If so, not sure what the mismatch will do at tax time. Something to check into before you make a decision that could be a problem later.

I use my mom's address in California so I get paid well over the range. I live in New Orleans. 100% remote for the past 3 years

I thought it was more taxes to pay to NY for borough tax than NJ so I would keep that in mind for tax time and way out the benefits.
