#4I find remote work by simply demanding it, but be willing to do office visits if needed. If the hiring manager likes you, they’ll come around. Also I find not budging on rate because of working remotely is a better look. Don’t be desperate. Be Patient.

#8As they say: "Looking for a job should be a full time job", or in other words: put your full time and effort in it. When not applying for job - study. When you are applying - do your research about every company you send your mail to. That way even with shittiest tools you can have success. Good luck!

#9I make a site called https://remoteok.io where I collect most new remote jobs from traditional job boards, as well as have fully-remote companies post directly.
You can also set up email alerts on there to get notified first when a new remote job appears in your specific niche (like DevOps).
Hope it helps and let me know if you have feedback.
