In my experience remote jobs (especially at smaller companies) seem to care more about your experience and ability to do the job than the Leetcode trivia questions. And although "impressive" employers might help, they're definitely not a prerequisite. Most engineers working remotely have never worked at a FAANG type company.
I'm trying to work toward the tech-adjacent side because developer comp tops out around 150k or 160k total in my area—and the top end of that's usually got one foot in management. Remote comp seems similar, unless you can do the hardcore algo interview thing—and even some of those don't pay especially well, if they're offering remote and feel like they're already doing you some kind of favor.
