Depends where you are and what you're looking for I guess. Here in Poland the market for remote jobs is great. Of course a big factor is that on average I estimate the rates paid here are half of these in UK/US (comparing my own rates for remote vs on-site). Also the way you look for work matters a lot. Every market has its specifics. In some locations it's better to send dozens of cv's in the others it's better to have alerts for exactly matching jobs and when they appear phone the recruiter within the first 5 minutes after the ad was posted. I used both techniques with great results. And the most important thing. Do not give up! And never trust words, unless they are in a form of a contract.
