As many other things in the corporate world, the easiest path is firstly get that at your current company, where you hopefully have some leverage. You typically need to wait for 1 yr before asking to go remote.

After that, it becomes much easier to get another remote job: you are already working remotely, which means you have a strong position from a negotiation standpoint when you ask for a remote job to future employers, and you have references showing that you can effectively work remotely.

I know several people who work remotely and they all followed this path.

You can always utter the words "I am already working remotely", irregardless.
Irregardless, you say? So that would be, what, a lack of a lack of regard.. so, with regard then. Jolly good!
Ah bait taken! :-)

As much as it pains people, irregardless is a real word [1] meaning regardless.

The page you linked to says "Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead."
Irregardless its still a word
