> conducive to remote work with minimal interaction?

Most places have at least a couple hours of overlap with the US. What time zone are you in?

What is your criteria for remote jobs? Perhaps the criteria is too limiting?

E.g. are you refusing jobs that require joining any meetings whatsoever? (Not saying you are, just speculating what the problem might be)

UTC+3 (Istanbul). Realistically I get 2-4 hours per day overlap with San Francisco and 4-6 with New York.

My criteria has been basically anybody using Terraform in the cloud. Everything else is negotiable.

What happens is the moment companies really where I am, they either get worried about the legality of hiring me (no concerns, unless they have an office here) or don't want to deal with the time zone.

It actually got worse since covid. Before Covid I would be unemployed 2-3 months in-between jobs or contracts.

   This gets complicated by the fact that most company's ops teams tend to work later hours.
