It's confusing to me because literally every single one is a $110k- senior level position. I just need a job to 'get back in the market'. It doesn't matter what it is so long as it's real. I can work myself up from within the same company, get raised to a senior level pay or just bounce to another company from there. But literally there seems to be no non senior level positions. I'm all over kill for them, but I guess because of my "2 year gap" and what'll even be worse, maybe no references that'll answer the phone anymore, they're going to demote me to "entry level" jobs. But there are none. They won't even let me offer half pay for the same job.

On average: juniors require too much supervision to be remote.

When I hire software devs, I only open senior positions to remote employment. I require new graduates to show up to the office (at least for some period of time until we have a good performance track record.)

Keep in mind: this remote+senior requirement is not about knowledge, this is about work ethic, about discipline, etc.

If you are older (sounds like it), then you may be more "senior" than you realize ... you may fit the "mature enough to stay focused and get tasks done, even if they are junior tasks" requirement.

Go apply for both junior on site (and state up front that you would be remote) and senior remote (state up front what you bring to the table.)
