I'd say look at government, but that is rarely remote. You can look at hourly contracts that aren't through the body shops like TCS, and some of those are still remote.

Otherwise, I'd say you're still in a position that you should consider the same path, but looking to be focused on orgs that have work/life balance highlighted.

There are definitely companies that hire remote workers to fulfill state government contract work. Salary won't be great, around the $100K range, but much less stress. Many of these government apps are not used after hours, so no need for a dreaded pager rotation.

How would you find these jobs? LinkedIn?

Over the last 10 years or so I have exclusively found my jobs using LinkedIn so I may be a bit out of touch.

For the Federal Government it's a handful of large SIs - Deloitte, Booz Allen Hamilton, KPMG, PWC, IBM, Accenture

For state and local I've seen CDW, IBM, and WWT pop up a bunch. That said, with state and local, you start entering MSP/MSSP territory which pays and treats you like shit

Depends on what government. State of California has a lot of remote/hybrid tech since the pandemic [0], both civil service and contract.

[0] and that’s been accommodated in civil service contracts and shifted some HQ space arrangements in ways which won’t be easy to quickly reverse, so its as likely to be durable as anything in working arrangements.

The Federal Govt is now very remote and hybrid friendly for tech roles.

They began facing a hiring crunch for technical staff around 2020 and used the COVID remote work requirements to make technical roles much more remote or hybrid friendly
