> Harvard eligibility is weird: we can hire hybrid near Cambridge, MA, or remote only if you live in the states of CA, CT, GA, IL, MA, MD, ME, NH, NJ, NY, RI, VA, VT and WA.

I’m so curious about this - why these states in particular?

>>noodle+(OP)
Most likely those are just the states where they already have a tax presence. For whatever reason they happen to currently employ folks in those states so adding employees is easy. Adding new states means getting lawyers and CPA type folks involved which is a hurdle to hiring in larger organizations.

>>noodle+(OP)
All remote work must be performed in a state in which Harvard is registered to do business (and has a registered payroll) [1][2].

That goes for any business/employer for what it's worth.
