Location change under new H-1B wage based lottery

Hey guys, I have been trying to get a concrete answer for this under new visa rules but have been unable to do so.

For context, my H-1B was picked this year under Level 2 at my current company. My current company has it's headquarters in Pennsylvania but the workers are allowed to work remote from anywhere in the US if they want to. I work from the Pennsylvania headquarters and that will be my location for LCA when H1-B petition has been filed.

However, I want to move closer to NYC after a year or so as I don't like where I live right now. Since my company is okay with me becoming remote and working from let's say Jersey City, how difficult would it be for me to transfer my location under the current guidelines? I'm $10k away from being a Level 2 in Jersey City. I believe I can achieve that by next year based on how the ladder works in my company. Assuming I have enough salary of a Level 2 candidate in Jersey City and my company is okay with the Amendment fees for my H-1B amendment, will it be doable?

If not, I would seriously consider changing my company instead and find a company in the NYC region. I do not wish to do that cause my current company has been good to me, will also sponsor my green card and is already quite lenient with the work culture. However, I also feel like I'm wasting my 20s living in a suburban area when I should be living in a lively city and network with people over there. Plus, it's also an immigrants dream (at least for me) to have that city experience once in my life cause ever since I came to the US (3 years ago), I've been living in a suburban area that got old and boring really fast for me.

Hey guys,

I am about to build a sin rig for myself and trying to figure out the best monitor setup. As per my research, 32 inch triples are valued to be better than 27 inch triples. However, would you still say the same if the 27 inch monitor is an OLED and the 32 inch one is a generic IPS panel?

For context, I'm getting a deal at Samsung where Samsung G61SD (27 inch, QHD, OLED) is $1250. Whereas a G50D (32 inch, QHD, IPS) is $1100. I have Samsung Education discount hence the deal. I also run RTX 4090 and AMD 78300X3D. My budget is $1500 for a triple monitor setup but I need a good setup.

I looked on Samsung store but unfortunately, there's no 32 inch QHD monitor that is also mini-led/OLED. I need it to be QHD (1440p) cause my RTX 4090 can't handle triple 4k. I also need to buy from Samsung only so that I can use my 30% student discount. Do I really lose that much of competitive edge by going 27 inch? Another option is the Odyssey G9 but again, I saw people saying to just go for triples instead.
