WMSS. You are asking for a high salary for a 100% remote position which can from anywhere. What do you have to offer that someone in Asia / Eastern Europe doesn't have, that will do the job for a fraction of that salary? Do you need to earn that much to follow your dream, or is that what the average (not top IB) permanent Java positions pay in the UK with 3 years experience, so you would like the same?

However, good luck with your search. Have you tried https://remoteok.io? Most positions are remote (given the URL, you'd expect them to be), so you might something on there.

I’m searching for permanent positions at the moment. There is quite a few. Do you think i need more experience even for perm remote work?

I don't know coding so not sure sorry. Some of our more experienced coders might comment but I'd want someone with more than 3 years to work unsupervised 100% of the time.

That's not really alot. You'd struggle contracting with that let alone 100% remote working.

Have you kept an eye on the job market to see how often these gigs come up if at all?

Remote java position

Hello, this is probably not right forum to post this, but i dont know any other IT workers forum, so maybe someone will help on here.

I am a java developer, finished top UK uni, working in top IB. I am feeling tired of London and banking and want to find fully remote java developer position paying 40-60k, work and travel in europe. I have sent applications to all remote positions i could find here in the uk, however no reply. My question is, are there remote java positions so competitive? What are my chances of finding one? Or do i need more experience first?
