I've noticed the downvotes on this but my experience attempting to go full remote is that almost any remote job worth taking has a VAST number of applicants. They tend to hold out for people who are looking for VERY specific skillsets (IE, the exact combination of frameworks/toolchains they are using).
Because they have no problems getting applicants, they tend to automate the up front coding part. It generally consists of a coding challenge, taking from 2 hours to (I've actually seen) 2 weeks. To get someone to do a phone screen. Its a far more painful process. After I stopped looking for "only" remote work I had 2 very good offers in-town within literally a week, with recruiters breaking down my door. Both of which paid better than any of the remote gigs.
YMMV - remote hiring is pretty cutthroat right now.
The way to do remote is contract work. If the contract works out they can offer to hire. I've never successfully landed a fulltime remote job besides contract work.
