I second that spreadsheet. Easy to search and sort information such as nb employees, city, country.

Not really... I've applied to multiple positions on linkedin and the only one that responded was a rejection because I was asking too much; their hourly rate that could offer was between 15$ and 20$. Hamburg startup rates, apparently, according to them. I was asking 72k$ per year for a PHP position with 6 years experience working for a company and around 3-4 years part-time freelancing.
Small startups will pay peanuts. Also remote jobs will usually pay less because the supply is much higher, you compete with 100x more devs than the local devs, some from poorer countries where 20/h is a good rate.

#26I've been working remotely for nearly 10 years now and I think it's a mistake to look for "remote" jobs. If you've got a strong skillset then most developer roles can be remote. If a company allows developers to work from home some days (which is most these days) then full remote is just a point of negotiation. I usually try to be as flexible as possible, offer to spend a couple of weeks on site in the beginning to get to know people (I prefer this actually) and make it clear that I can come over if there's team days and that sort of thing.
This has definitely gotten far easier over the last couple of years and I think post covid the trend will accelerate.

Is there any data for this?
In my limited experience this was not the case but I've never really looked for a remote job

If you look at the job offers on linkedin, most of them have more than 50-60 candidates. That's my main problem with remote job interviews. How do you reach the actual interview stage when there are more than 100 candidates applying for the same position?

20$/hour is basically what you'll earn before taxes for an outsourcing company in eastern Europe.
