Re:Ask HN: Strategies to land fully remote $250k+ job

My main trick has been to specialize in things that all companies like a lot (AWS, js, python), jumping gigs, and leveraging Remote Contracting networks [1].
To get to ~200k remote salaries is hard, but not impossible if you make clear what kind of business leverage you bring and what responsibilities you can take.
In addition, you might not actually need such a high Remote salary if you choose to live in cheaper towns. You don't need a $200k salary if you can make your $120k feel like $1M by living in the countryside.

The world has changed dramatically.
I change company until I find one which is ok with me working fewer hours. This is hardly done as employed.
Most freelancers are now employed full-time (like permanent employee) and can quickly change job until they find one with good work/life balance [1].
