You’re shooting for one of the hardest types of jobs out there: entry level remote work with decent pay. There’s not much of that around, which means it’s gonna be highly competitive.
I’d advise against setting a hard timeline like 6 months and instead focus on finding something that is interesting and you can devote free time to.
I started out in software sales a decade ago and realized it wasn’t for me. I learned basic web dev at home in my free time and got my first dev job after about a year of building stuff at home. I found a path that was sustainable and cultivated my interest, which is the most important part of career switching imo.
Also, working in an office for a few years was invaluable, I had to do it to get the experience that has allowed me to work remote. If you restrict yourself to remote jobs then you are cutting yourself off from vital opportunities and experience.
