Honestly, fully remote IT jobs are going to countries with extremely low cost of living. Why pay someone in the West $40K&#x2F;year when you can pay someone in the East $20K&#x2F;year?<p>So a lot of &quot;remote jobs&quot; in the West have an in-person component or have strict language requirements (e.g. have to talk to customers, and the company wants to project being a US-based business).<p>Remote jobs that pay well enough are hard to come by for that reason. Plus a lot of people would love a fully remote job so they likely get a lot of highly qualified applicants when they do appear.<p>Sorry if this is unhelpful&#x2F;not what you asked. Just trying to explain why finding these jobs isn&#x27;t easier.
