levels.fyi has a job board with a "Fully remote" filter, might be worth checking out.

I find that a lot of their "fully remote" positions are only remote if you live in the US.

I think you can get around that by choosing locations outside the US

In addition to the (real, but somewhat overblown) downturn in tech, the main problem is that hiring is fucked. Both sides are in a scam/fraud arms race. Getting a job through the front door is basically impossible now - and if you want to try, you will need to lie and do all the dirty tricks your competition does, and even then, your conversion rate will be minuscule.

Not my experience (did job hunt a couple of months back).

Standards are quite high, and the economy obviously isn’t great, but it’s not as bad as that.

I have found signal to noise on LinkedIn to be quite bad now but that’s specific to that site IME.

I think you have to go via your network referral. I've bought linkedin premium and can see that most jobs have 500+ candidates, not only it's impossible to apply but I have serious doubts they will chose the right person. I failed my last interview because I failed to sell myself.

I’ve heard from people in hiring that often 490/500 of those candidates will be from India and often aren’t actually eligible for the job. Just apply, it’s partly a numbers game.

Do you think your network and/or having high in-demand skills might have something to do with that?

Can try to explore https://joblist.today (also can contribute to the open database list of companies and jobs).

Worldwide remote jobs are usually marked "Remote" only, without a "limiting region" next to it; E.g: https://components.joblist.today/apps/search/?query=remote%2...
