Remote Work Question

I’m getting back into the job market post after a health crisis (I beat cancer!!!) I have a highly desirable skill set and I’m semi-prepared to discuss the break as needed with potential employers.

I have a highly desirable skill set and I’m semi-prepared to discuss the break as needed with potential employers. I’d rather not get into the health stuff as I’m fully capable now. If anyone has tips on that, feel free to add it! I was thinking to frame it differently as I don’t think my health is their business – and I don’t want to be disqualified based on concerns that my health could take me out again. That is very unlikely, so it’s not relevant.

My question is regarding remote work salaries. I am temporarily in a relatively LCOL area. However I don’t intend to stay here. And more than that, I’m not interested in being underpaid based on location when this isn’t my long term home anyway.

I’d like to use one of my semi-regular addresses/friends address in NYC, the Bay Area, or LA.

Does anyone have experience doing this? Anything I should look out for? Is this a bad idea?

If anyone has an idea of where else I might post this I’d be interested too.
