I think it is important to highlight what process works best for you and emphasize that to employers. Personally, I am more productive working remotely, in control of my environment and surroundings, and I frame that as a positive aspect of my contribution for the organization. Sure, some people want to see numbers or hear about previous experiences within a certain context, but I think it's all about communicating how you align with, and contribute to, that context. I've worked remotely as both a junior and more experienced engineer - mentoring junior engineers remotely; there's capacity for remote work at all levels. I think some employers are more curious about your remote processes than actual experience (e.g. how do you handle working with people in different time zones, what sort of productivity and communication tools do you use to work asynchronously). I highly suggest contributing to an open-source project that you use or are interested in - even if it's something small like committing documentation or fixing a minor issue. That is some of the most meaningful and fulfilling asynchronous remote work experience to tout. Don't get discouraged. The world is massive. You will find people that value your skills and talents, and you will obtain what you are seeking if you stick to it. I hope this helps. Cheers!
