"So, if you're looking for jobs that have remote flexibility and pay well, your best bet is to look at roles that pay above $100,000, but definitely no more than $200,000. But don't let the stats overwhelm or discourage you. Yes, demand outpaces supply. Sure, employers in 2025 have put their foot down and enforced RTO mandates. And yes, the job market for these roles is, s a result, extremely competitive."
Remote job postings remain above pre-pandemic levels but have declined from their pandemic peak. About 87% of U.S. open roles require full in-office presence, with 7% hybrid and 6% fully remote. Consulting offers the most flexibility, with 18% hybrid and 14% fully remote positions. Remote opportunities concentrate in mid-career, peaking at 9% in the $125k–$150k salary band and falling to 3% below $60k and 4% above $250k. Roles paying $100k–$200k offer the best chance for remote flexibility. Employer return-to-office mandates in 2025 have increased competition. Stronger marketing, networking, positioning, and strategy are necessary for candidates seeking remote high-pay roles.
