I'm working remotely making >100k. I was -1hr and now I'm +2hrs relative to the home office and the majority of the clientele. I'm very happy. I'm a US Resident though.

#4280k? Man I would work for 45~50k remote (making 30k ATM with 11+ ex and leading a front end team now angularjs/nodejs) Bio in my HN profile.
How much in AUD will you work for? We're a remote company looking for a front-end developer.
Would you mind sending me an email? My email is in my HN profile. Australia timezone would work great for me actually as I'm in Taipei GMT+8.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. The competition is just too high it seems for remote jobs. I haven't had much luck so far.
Unfortunately, and you will hear this a lot if you ask, all of the really sweet jobs don't ever make it to job boards, and especially not race-to-the-bottom cesspools like eLance/oDesk/Upstart. You have to network, and you have to network hard. Not to promote yourself (that's advertising), but to learn what challenges the tech teams at companies need help with today . And when you find a mutually beneficial opportuni…
Thanks, these are great points and I know I need to work on my networking/marketing skills a bit.

#44I can't find anything remote. I've been a WordPress and front end dev for about five years but I don't know Angular/React so no luck for me...In my experience, I only see the 15k a year posts too.

#45I had a 100% remote job (senior level) making considerably more than that. They are out there.

If you have five years exp. with front end development (inl. js, I hope), picking up ReactJs and AngularJs is pretty trivial. I was able to pick up Angular in about 3 weeks, and React in about the same, though it did take a little while for everything to settle in. Best advice? Take something you wrote WITHOUT those technologies, and refactor it with them.

Hey, is it legal to scrape a lot of data and put in an aggregator? I ask because I want to do an idea pretty much like yours and this my concern at the moment. I was thinking about emailing the person to ask for permission before posting, how do you handle it (if you don't mind sharing) thanks
I think most people follow: Do it, ask forgiveness later.
Seems like if it is public info it is hard to argue against it.
