Those doing remote jobs: How did you fine one? And is it worth it?

After 11y of indie hacking, from android app development to django web dev, I have decided to settle for a job. Only for financial reasons. I have never done any job in life.

I have already applied to some good paying remote jobs that matches my skills and sound very easy to me. But I am yet to hear from them, then interview, etc. I have applied from linkedin.

How did you find a remote job yourself? And is it better than in-house corporate dev jobs?

Asking as a newbie.
