Thanks.

Rails gigs are good for getting some extra income, but my experience is that they don't last, and there's no way I can live only with remote gigs.

I mean, I've been freelancing for years and living off remote work for 2 years.

But the financial stability with remote work is nowhere as good as when you have a "real job".

What I'm trying to say is that when you are working remotely, you're not really a employee, as the company can and will go away from one day to another, and what options do you have then?

I'm talking about international remote work, now partial remote work with a local company might be another story.
