Part of it is pure luck - being at the right place at the right time. An on site internship gave me a foot in the door for my first remote job. After that, I had experience in a certain niche and a couple of open source contributions under my belt.

Another part is just having the guts to ask for a remote job straight away and accept getting turned down dozens of times.

Nice, sounds like it worked out for you. Could you please say which niche or contributions gets you the most chances in landing remote work?
