I've hired for a few remote startups in the past. It certainly could be your resume, but my offhand is that your FAANG experience prices you out of the remote market, either directly (you're telling them) or indirectly (recruiters know you'll be expensive).

I've hired ballpark 500 people in my career, talked to a lot of FAANG candidates, and hired only one. Comp expectations compared to experience was just always way out of alignment. Only reason the one got hired was because they were a great fit and very open about being willing and able to take a pay cut to go full remote.
