I Am Shocked How Many People Still Apply to Companies That Were Never Going to Hire Them Remotely at 6 Figures
The job posting won't tell you if a company plans to RTO you in 18 months. Here's the 7-filter test that separates real remote employers from the rest.
I am shocked how many people are still applying to companies that were never going to hire them remotely at 6 figures.
The job posting doesn't tell you if the company will RTO you in 18 months. The salary range doesn't tell you if remote employees ever get promoted.
I checked the history of 500 companies and only 8.4% made the cut. I built 7 filters. Every company on the list below passed all 7.
I call these the Top 1% Remote 6-Figure Employers™. Here's what they share: remote culture, a Glassdoor rating of 3.7 or higher, no mass layoffs in the last 12 months, no RTO mandate, active hiring, verified six-figure compensation, and fiscal health. Most companies failed on step 3 or 4. A few made it to 5 and fell apart on 6.
This week's newsletter breaks out 16 live $100K+ fully remote roles from the 42 companies that passed all 7 filters, including Deel, McKesson, ServiceNow, Progressive, Workiva, American Express, Airbnb, Amgen, and Zapier. Full role list, salary bands, and direct application links live inside the newsletter article on LinkedIn.
Save this. Roles close fast and these do not get reposted.
