#22I think the more interesting question is, how did you land your remote job?
Re: Ask HN: How much you make working remotely?
#23I work remotely, for a company located about 1.5 hours drive away, though am expected to come into the office twice a month on my own dime.
I make essentially a market rate salary.

#25About 2500 USD/month, working hour or two a day. I can make more easily, but I already make like 2x of average salary in my country, so I can live comfortably, travel as much as I want to and have time to pursue other projects (running my little winery and working on low cost FTIR spectroscope).
working hour or two a day? What's your work schedule looks like? curious to know.
I am doing maintenance programming for living (in Delphi 5), which usually consist of long list of small problems and changes: I am usually trying to do one or two things a day, generate new binaries and send it to customer so he have something new to play with. I am usually working on my own things till, say 5 or 6 and then do my daily work for my customer.

#28With 60% oDesk clients and 40% other remote clients, back in 2012, I did around 17k $ in the whole year. I explained it at the end of this post http://malditointer.net/after-working-1200-hours-in-odesk/

#29Exactly the same as I would make if I weren't working remotely. I'm doing the same work, and it has the same value to my employer. (If anything, one might argue that remote employees should be paid more, since the overhead costs are often less).

#30I do freelance, so it varies depending on how I schedule client work. On average, I sit comfortably around $5k a month with a 30/hr work week.
