anyone have any experience or knowledge of situsAMC?
I was cruising through LinkedIn' jobs and bumped unt a role with SitusAMC. I looked deeper, and they have TONS of roles open, they appear to be quite active, and although I had seen a few of their postings before, I never really paid attention.  

I'm in the Boston area.  None of their roles were specific to my region (which I thought was a little weird, but whatever) so I pulled up a remote one.  Then I saw it: 

This role is not available in the following states:  
AK, CA, CO, CT, HI, MA, WY.   This statement seems to be in all their remote ads,- at least all those that I peeked at.  

Ok, Alaska and Hawaii I can kind of understand due to proximity for the few times that one might need to travel, 

AK, HI, CA, MA, CT all have high cost of living issues, but not that much more than DC, NY, IL which weren't excluded, 

CA, MA, CT have certain statements on non-compete and various other minimum employer requirements... but I can't see CO or WY falling into those without further research.

What could the possible commonality be between these jurisdictions?  Anyone?  Some odd protected class they don't want to touch? (Gay marriage in wY? Pot legislation loosening?) This seems like a motley bunch of states to single out, to me. 

Also curious, generally, if anyone has had any experience with this group overall.   Thanks!

These jobs since 2008 became more low paying and more akin to accounting, but now they require more local knowledge.  You're right about CA, MA, and CT, but WY, AK, and HI are pretty underserved markets with some wildly inflated debt out there.  \n\nAK and HI took their remoteness to a whole other level, and I wouldn't be surprised if prices not only crash in those states, but fraud becomes obviously rampant.", "replies": [{"id": "iubb7of", "text": "Im in Development.
