14 Remote Jobs Hiring Now That Pay $250,000+ In 2024

Fresh research shows that high-paying remote job opportunities are making a comeback—specifically with regards to hybrid remote arrangements.

At the beginning of the year, high-paying hybrid jobs—the roles that pay $250,000 or more—equated to just 1% of total jobs available, reveals the high-paying job platform Ladders in their latest report; while by the second quarter of 2024, high-paying hybrid jobs yielding the same salary comprised nearly 3% of all listings, evidencing positive upward progress.

“It looks like companies that were mostly onsite before are now adopting hybrid setups to attract and retain top talent. They are finding a sweet spot with hybrid work which many believe offers the flexibility of remote work while preserving the collaborative and leadership benefits of being in the office,” said John Mullinix, Ladders’ director of growth marketing.

What Do I Need To Land A High-Paying Hybrid Remote Job?

First, let’s talk about experience levels.

According to the research, to land a high-paying hybrid remote job today you would need to have between eight to 10 years of experience. But there are also many roles that require between five to seven years of experience, so having a hybrid remote job that pays $250,000 or more is not out of the ordinary for someone earlier in their career.

In terms of education, the roles listed above typically require you to have graduated at a bachelor’s or master’s degree level; however, a few, such as market manager, sales representative, account executive, and even COO, can be achieved even without attending college or university for four years.

There are many examples of people who have attained in their career and landed these jobs through steady perseverance, continual self-improvement and professional development, mentorship, self-paced study and training, and upholding their moral values, while prioritizing the development of high-income skills—skills that are in high demand and command premium wages.

While the hard skills and technical knowhow associated with your role are extremely important, perhaps even more critical is your ability to sell yourself and your personal brand, engage and communicate effectively with your remote co-workers, stakeholders, and clients, and continue refining your communication and “soft skills” set so you can continue to earn progressively higher salaries.

And finally, don’t underestimate the value of networking, especially for higher-profile or high-paying positions. Often, these remote and hybrid roles are not advertized as freely as the jobs that pay less; therefore you should focus on expanding your professional network and tapping into the so-called “hidden job market” of roles that have not been advertized yet but are known only to a select few.

Strategically networking will get you much further than you ever realized was possible.

Through a combination of these methods, persistence, and a strategic career plan, you can secure a high-paying hybrid remote job in 2024, and continue progressing up the ladder in your career.
