BO Office Location Questions

I had some thoughts and questions around BO locations, especially as WFH becomes prevalent. While NY/SF/London are awesome, I was wondering if anyone has elected to purposefully go to a BO office location for quality of life and still retained their FO roll? For example, is it possible/have people been employed by say Goldman NY or SF but work in Salt Lake on purpose? What would be the realities of this? While a lot of it is firm dependent, I was wondering given the new ways of working what everyone's thoughts were on the following:

  1. Given the hybrid model and many electing to WFH permanently, has anyone worked for one office remote all the time? If so how was the experience?
    1. As part of this, would you be/are you employed by the office you recruited for (e.g. NY even though you live in Vermont), or are you employed via the closest office and you work with that team?
  2. How has your firm seen those who elect not to come in at all? What percent are being forced to come in? Would you disclose what state you are living in?
  3. How would comp work? Would you receive your salary along the state laws of the office or your resident state?

TLDR: Would it be possible to be employed at a good office but choose to work for that same team in another BO location
