Am I the only one struggling to find a fully remote design job these days?

I'm a graphic designer with experience in branding, editorial design, motion graphics and digital content. I've been applying for remote roles across Europe for months, but most opportunities are now hybrid, location-restricted, or incredibly competitive.

I don't even need a huge salary. I just want the freedom to work remotely and be part of an international team. Any advice from people who made it happen recently?

I’m in content and I’ve found it harder to find fully-remote jobs. I just keep applying to the ones that are and ignore the rest. Rent is too high to live in a major city and they don’t pay enough to balance out housing and transportation costs. I’ve been fully-remote for decades and I have zero intention of changing that now even if I have to go back to freelancing.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!

The partner said because I joined the firm later in the year, it’s normal not to advance in the next year. Is it? Thanks!
