Can't say for sure without spending some time with your code, which you would need to entice me to do. Without a resume, you need a portfolio. That could be one app, if it really catches my attention. A blog with a few short but insightful posts about programming could help too. Catching me at a meetup and demonstrating some intelligence and thoughtfulness would probably clinch it. Your marketability is fairly limited with just vanilla JS/LAMP. At this point I'd say learn basic React, Node and Python (preferably) or Ruby. Familiarity with AWS would also be a high return investment. You don't need to know any big back-end frameworks (e.g. Django/Rails) really well, but be able to bootstrap a project and use the management app. Spending some time with a microframework is a good idea (e.g. Express/Flask/Sinatra). At your level working remotely part time is probably not going to be an option. Offering to take a lower salary during negotiations might get you a few days remote but I wouldn't expect it. I would definitely negotiate for more remote time as a reward for positive performance reviews though.
