Well the location-based bullshit really has to go. I can charge more for remote work when I move to a higher wage country, while moving to a less ideal location in terms of timezones. It's to no benefit to the customer yet they'll gladly pay more.

People always pretend life is oh-so cheap in for example Latin America while a lot of things including basics like soap and dried pasta can be more expensive in the supermarkets. And don't even get me started on electronics.

Of course you'll get people that pretend to be from a more expensive time zone for remote work. It's the same work after all.



The customer benefits from work being done in a location with the rule of law and independent courts.


Oh sure perhaps for unknown developers but often it’s the same customer I already worked with for quite a while.
