While you cannot collect an Amazon salary out there - because Amazon won't pay you if you live there, you can collect a similar salary out there from other companies that just need good people and pay them well. Of course you will need to wade through the companies that figure since cost of living is less out there they should pay you less. However wages are competitive for full remote companies, so companies that allow full remote tend to not care where you live, they just pay enough to get the people they need.

Note, such companies do count what country you live in. You will make different amounts in US, India, Germany, and Mexico. For legal reasons people who live in a different country are not equivalent to each others.

"similar salary"? Be realistic – a random startup is not going to give total comp similar to Amazon... you need to find another remote-friendly FAANG to get that, and I don't know if any of them are even hiring right now, let alone hiring full-remote
