What I did was work for a company and then transition the job remote after 11 months.

I kept my "california" salary and actually earned a lot more money than when I was sitting in an office.

Best of luck!

Thank you for sharing you experience.

Did you transition to remote work or did you try to move into the consultant direction?

I told my boss, while I enjoyed working for the company, I was unhappy living in San Francisco and I needed a change of scenery. I had a ticket to visit Vietnam (in 2 weeks) and I wouldn't come back to the office again.

Because he was happy with my services and I was a crucial part of the engineering team, he let me work remotely full-time w2 while I traveled around the world.
