In the US people will typically not respond to a job posting unless it is 40/hr. 30/hr is too low for most knowledgable developers, who could go another place and get 50 or 75/hr.

I managed to go from (I've converted these from GBP) $23k to $56k by doing that in one jump and three jumps later I'm earning $110k sitting on my butt at home. Just requires some balls and outward confidence which I will admit was slightly alcohol fuelled when I was on the phone choke hmm.
Plus I know what I'm doing but that's a case of two decades of hard work and is entirely separate to the job market and salary expectations unfortunately which is all about knocking people's salary down.
just have some balls when negotiating and prepare to walk away. Get some practice in on jobs that you don't really want, negotiate hard for them and get used to the negotiation to and fro.
Some of these managers/biz people get paid $200+/hr and so don't battle an eyelid when you have some balls. Infact your image goes up in their eyes.
I've found remote work hard to come by in the UK.
Remote work is easy to find in the UK, but through word of mouth. You'll get nothing through the agents.
I had someone demand my salary expectations in an email two days ago, and I answered with a question about whom I would be reporting to. I haven't heard back yet. Maybe they flushed me for "not following the rules." Fair enough. You do not want to deal with people like that. Bad clients are worse than no clients.
And I'm saying that as someone who currently doesn't have full-time work, and is looking for it, and has a family to raise.
Now, sometimes I have found that their maximum salary was beneath my minimum accepted value. They can stop wasting their time if they announce their salary upfront, but for some reason they won't do that. Their loss.
There's also HN discussion of it if you search
