If you're inside the US, just apply to any private unicorn or public tech company (the ones that get media coverage). Anecdotally, roughly 50% of them are now cool with full remote and virtually all will pay 250k or more in total comp.

If you're outside the US, forget about salaried roles. I've found that a vast majority of companies mentioned above will have blanket policies against hiring non-US workers (most HR departments are still living in the past and don't know services like Pilot, Deel, Remote.com, etc exist).

Also, there's virtually zero non-American companies that pay those kind of salaries--save for a few select places like Singapore, Zurich (and funny enough, its also the American companies in those cities that pay the highest).

Contracting for sleepy European big companies is probably your best option if outside the US. In most European countries, there's insane cost benefits to having contractors vs. employees due to the social welfare systems and impossibility of firing an employee. So contractor rates can match US ones.

For all the talk about COVID unlocking the global marketplace of talent, I don't see any evidence of that happening yet.

Covid has eliminated geographic barriers to talent within countries, but the barriers between countries are still too scary for risk-averse, late-adopting HR/Compliance/Legal types to deal with.

Give it another 5 years before the FUD clears.
