Awesome response!

Totally agree with you that maybe it doesn't get into the nitty gritty of what it takes. I actually broke this down in the 2nd part of the article (https://www.deekit.com/how-do-i-find-a-remote-job-part-2/).

The point about the global talent pool competition is valid. My thinking on that would be to leverage what you have going for you.

For me, I was an native English speaker wanting to work with an Estonian startup. I had a native language advantage. So there are always ways to get ahead of those you're up again.

Like the idea of offering value before being asked for it!
