You should contact a technical recruiter. There are I'm sure thousands of software development openings in your area from companies you have never heard of but with salaries that are 60-80% of FAANG.

i forgot to indicate where I am. if I was in silicon valley it may be a bit easier to get references, currently i am in the rainforest on the big island and they sub out all their tech to the mainland here.

Ok! Are you planning to stay there and try to work remotely? Or are you willing to relocate to an environment with more on-site work available?
