Can you explain how the locations listed as potential places for people to move were selected? Are they locations that have a certain number of longtermist org headquarters that don’t accommodate remote employees? I’m biased, but I was surprised NYC wasn’t listed. And in general, I think this sort of suvery can end up propagating certain community-level perceptions through what is included and what is omitted (e.g. implying Boston, DC, and SF are longtermist hubs, but NYC is not).
Hey Rocky, it was mainly driven by my guesses of where longtermist orgs are hiring at the moment. I’ve been getting a bunch of requests to help hiring for roles based in DC, Boston and SF Bay Area, but not as many New York. I didn’t want to add too many options for brevity.

But there are of course plenty of longtermist organisations hiring in New York at the moment, e.g. these: https://80000hours.org/job-board/?location=new-york-ny
