Ask HN: Strategies to land fully remote $250k+ job

From my experience most of the companies scouting for developers are trying to minimize costs and using the “fully remote” positions as a mean. I almost never faced an HR ready to discuss salaries higher, than my current “above average” full-time salary in my region (~120-180k). I wonder what should your CV look like and how should you approach the search for companies that can afford expensive developers no matter the geo. If the goal is not worth the effort in the first place — what alternative scalable ways to increase senior programmer’s income can you recommend? Scalable means more or less reproducible in finite timeframe without high risks like in “starting your own startup”.
