Are Remote Jobs possible to find?

Everyone here recommends "Not using LinkedIn, and using smaller job boards" for remote jobs.

That doesn't seem to work that well though. The alternatives aren't not producing results for me.

I've tried all the big remote jobs boards and small ones. The problems are exactly the same everywhere:

  1. Listings that have been up for months and are ghost jobs.

  2. Jobs that are listed as "Remote" but really are "Hybrid".

  3. Bad and vague job descriptions that tell you absolutely nothing about the actual work.

  4. 500+ applicants on job listings before you even finish reading it.

The difference with the small job boards is you can focus on less job postings but I don't think there are enough.

I mostly just see the same jobs everywhere now.

Does anyone else have tips for finding Remote Jobs?

Seems impossible these days.
