I imagined it would be something in tech. I’ll learn anything, I just need at least 80k and no commute to be happy. I want to move to the country and be free from lengthy commutes.

Yes. I’ve gained so much time back by not commuting to an office each day.

Move to an internal role within your firm. I’m internal finance, and my role is 100% remote.

I disagree, the firm will always need finance resources that manage the project financials + plan for future state. Yes our group is not as big as CS, but if you find a role, it’s because we really need the help.

I feel like if you just keep doing what you’re doing, it will come - a year or so ago I got an offer for a really small consulting firm (<20 employees, specialized in healthcare compensation) for an entry level role at 60k, 100% remote. It’s probably more prevalent at smaller companies though.
