Philly market sounds similar.

Yup. I worked in the Philly market for a few years (and another year if you count Wilmington).

90% of places I interviewed with while living there gave me insulting low offers, it made me question if I was actually being overpaid (I wasn't).

Left for another city across the country about 4 years ago and have been getting much better offers (even accounting for the COL difference) at better companies.

I've been looking at remote. My wife doesn't want to move.

Just moved from Philly to Cali. I regret not doing it 10 years ago. Already have an offer 50% above what I made in Philly. The funny part is my W2 withholding went down!

Philly taxes you so much and you get nothing for it.
