The point being relatively easy if you fit a specific criteria (don't need flexibility, want to work long hours, have a above average CV, can live near a major tech hub, have no problem working for FAANG etc).
My proposal was a direct response to PragmaticPulp, who said "a $200K or more compensation package should be easy to come by remotely or in any medium size city."
And this is why I made the proposal, it was a challenge to this notion that it is easy. I stand by the idea that is not, and I am willing to pay to be proven wrong.
