Where to look for a remote location over the hill?

Where, besides LinkEdin, to look for remote full-time work for foreign companies? Or is LinkEdin usually sufficient?
Do you need ready-made papers or are there enough options when you can take a test task?
How is the interview for a remote job?
Are there any problems due to the difference in time (in time zones)?
Does the median salary of an average web developer exceed $3k per month per hand?

It all depends on your qualifications, because your question with such "details" is if you would like to ask me if I am ready to hire you and pay you $ 3000 in your hands, without having an idea about you and your skills.
Post your resume and portfolio, and then send your profile to vacancies. There is nothing to write here, since there is no "universal" method on the topic "how to conduct an interview" with you.

1) salary can exceed $3/month, but keep in mind that this is a "dirty" salary, from which you will pay at least 10% more for taxes/commissions/etc. And you will have to pay all this business, because you will not be able to work physically "in the black" (any bank will oblige you to pass currency control).
2) salary can exceed 3$/month if you find a decent job and you have skills for at least a senjor developer with 6 years of serious enterprise experience.
3) in 95% of cases, everything you find will be an analogue of freelancing. It is work under the contract - these are units, and only offices that consciously work with employees from the CIS (for example, VirtualHealth).
4) interviews are random, if you're lucky.
5) you can find many foreign offices that are willing to work with you if they have a clear English and proper qualifications, but ... subject to relocation (yes, they will help you wherever you want without any problems: Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, etc.) .
Remote work is still not a particularly favorite format for employers to interact with employees, which we have, in the Russian Federation, which is over the hill (I'm talking about full-time work).

Hello
There are a lot of guys from Ukraine, acquaintances who work as QA engineers for the states, sitting from Ukraine.
They get about 1000-1800 bucks (plus they give 10% for taxes, commission, etc.). In the Russian Federation, this can be found in the office.
They look for work most often through LinkEdin and American sites, and upwork.

Remote work is periodically posted on https://www.monster.com , there is another life hack - post a slightly different resume on https://www.monster.com.sg . You can respond with your remote offer to a regular vacancy, there is a (small) chance that they will meet halfway if they are explained that otherwise they will have to go through bureaucratic hell with visa sponsorship.
Specialized services for finding remote work:
https://weworkremotely.com/
https://remoteok.io/
Whether ready-made work is needed depends on the employer. Most resumes are discarded by HR without following links.
The interview takes place via skype or zoom in screen sharing mode.
In terms of time zones - there are no particular difficulties with Europe, China, Singapore and Australia.
In terms of salary - yes, the median salary exceeds 3000 USD per hand. But this is the wrong question. Almost all "high-money" work is located in awkward time zones, and why compare yourself to the rest? The right question is - do they pay 3000 USD for the work that I can do and that I like?

Basically, this is rather an exception and a rarity if you are not a resident of the country. For many reasons (this is a separate big topic). If you are a resident, then there are quite a few options for remote work, and I will not consider this case now.
In short, if you are a very good specialist, then there are Scalable Path, Toptal and a couple of other serious platforms (I don’t remember the names), tailored specifically for remote work from any country. The selection is tough (for me). There is also Crossover from the same opera.
In other cases, you need to look first of all on Upwork, and secondly on other freelance sites that are not quite garbage. Of the English-speaking ones, there is Freelancer, Codementor, and there is also a bunch of regional sites in different countries. It is necessary to take freelance orders, initially selecting potentially long-term ones, until a long-term relationship is established with one of the customers. This will be your remote.
What do you mean by "finished work"? Are you a designer or a front-end developer, then yes rather than no. In other cases, examples of completed projects will certainly come in handy, but more is needed: a history of work in serious companies, reviews / ratings / references, the ability to pass a technical interview. In the case of Crossover and the like, you will have a short test, then a large test project, and then an interview.
Sometimes Linkedin works, but this is rare. One of my regular clients (part time) found me there, and this is the only case in my practice.
Average salaries, per hour: $20 (bottom), $30-35 (intermediate), $40-50 (expert). Accordingly, consider the monthly salary.
There are those who earn more and much more (up to $100-120), but there are many nuances. For example, you either need to travel and quite often to the country, or this is a short-term project, or if you are some kind of narrow and cool specialist, capable of, for example, deploying kubernetes to 10,000 machines to a client in an hour and raising a huge project there.
Because of the time difference, problems can arise when the difference is, for example, 12 hours, you have a day, they have a night, and you practically do not intersect. More precisely, not that it's a problem, just very inconvenient. But if the difference is 5 hours, then this is not even noticed (although you need to keep in mind, and add a second clock).

- You can search everywhere. linkedin, forums, exchanges, job-boards (there are also specialized ones purely for remote work), search in Google for queries like "work with us" or "careers", you can look for companies that openly welcome remote work and knock on them, here in the next branch recently they advised me to make a website and put ads there (I don’t know if it will work, I never did it) and so on. People also find work even through twitter, if there is an ability to establish the right connections and search for the right one.
It's good that you got to the toaster with this question - now take the next step and search the Internet.
- Finished works help, but in general - no matter how, the main thing is to show what you can. Assignments and interviews are different.
- There are problems due to the time difference, it will be necessary to get used to and be able to organize work, negotiate and establish a workflow.
- I don't know who an average developer is, but a good developer earns from $4000 to $7000-$8000. Above - you already have to be really cool either in skills or in the ability to find a good job and "sell" yourself. Better in both.

In principle, everyone sits on linkedin, I get a lot of offers from there. 90% is a hillock, often true with relocation.
The last offer I received from https://djinni.co/ my criteria were also remote.

Didn't find what you were looking for?
