I'll just repost one of my previous comments. Slight update: I'm now completely broke and living off of my girlfriend's income.

Any pay, any loca…

But HackerNews comments told me everybody makes $300k-$500k/yr working remote
Per year? No mate, that's per month... But on the other hand rent in SF (which is where I do my remote work from) is high, so I can't get ahead.
