That’s my plan. Moving from DFW to semi-rural West Texas soon to be closer to my family. If my time with the firm ends, I’ll just find another one that embraces the remote way of working. They’re a dime a dozen anymore.

Worst case scenario you go to a coding boot camp and secure a remote 6 figure job for lyfe

The number of people applying for remote jobs far outweighs the number of jobs so it’s definitely a risk. That being said you are probably considering moving somewhere very LCOL so even if you had to drop down in pay to secure remote it would probably be okay
