You mention you can survive 4-6 months with no salary and you're a remote dev right now - you can "soft move" and likely extend that runway.

I don't know your life situation, but it's possible you could travel to a city in your timezone and get a short-term rental of some sort and work from there as you investigate the city and its options. You could probably go a timezone or two away and still not need to actually make it obvious; of course swapping to the other side of the world would be more difficult.

Even if you chose to return you'll at least have more knowledge about the options.
