Remote jobs paying 6 figures? Aren't they flooded with Indian applicants? Why can I hire an outsourced Indian or Ukrainian for £10,000 PA then? Sounds weird..


Simple. It's the difference between being able to find good paying work, and relying on others to find it.

You can be located in a cheap country making thousands a day while others make that in a month. Just need to be a good at finding people whose problems you can solve.


Can you give an example of that? What have you been doing?


They exist.

India has the most unfortunate timezone I guess, so US companies prefer Europeans, as there is at least some overlap. Plus, maybe there's unconscious racism? I.e. subconsciously associating white skin with higher skills.
