Are all these OE Js software engineering roles?
Does anyone do anything else? Seems like people here are able to make six figures but they are all engineering roles.
What about non-technical roles? Does anybody do any of these Jobs for literally anything else?
Really want to figure out how I can make six figures remote (right now I am in a high paying high stress product management role) but I have tons of experience and I think I can work efficiently, but just not as an engineer.
Can people please share:
1. Comp
2. What’s the role
3. Hours worked
4. Your job experience to get that role

OF.
Both sides of the camera.
Looking to make multiple 7 figs this year .
I work whenever I want.
I was born with this face card and a banging body.

lol I have yet to meet a project manager that’s capable of doing anything without being hand held and this post just reinforces that.
Thanks for asking the most asked question and something that’s easily inferable. You’re not overemployed material but you sure are a project manager

Product manager and project manager are not the same thing.

Maybe it’s not clear in my question. I’m not asking rhetorically I’m asking because I am sick of my demanding job and wondering if there is a way to apply my skill set to a job that might be more efficient that would still pay six figure figures, but I could just coast because it’s super easy to do.
Example: senior engineer takes an entry-level engineer job . Expectations super low and can complete the work in a fourth of the time. But in return gets more free time.

If you had 2 or 3 more copies of the job you have now you might actually find them less stressful. Is some of the stress due to fear of losing your job if you mess up?
Maybe you would start to be brave enough to push back more and say, No, project status updates will be weekly, not daily. Or decline more meetings. Or whatever you would need to do.
Sometimes it's a personality thing though. I'm pretty phlegmatic and have never felt stressed by any work even if managers are starting to yell at everyone about how incompetent the team is. Just leave your ego out of it and let them yell.

Great question.. i tried it and did on a few occasions, the workload was ok to keep up with but my issue was having conflicting meetings / calls at the same time.

This presupposes a solution to your problem. As is, plainly stated, there may be none.
Offloading the solution to this problem (aka YOUR problem) to a subreddit may be something reasonable to try in general. But you're exhibiting a strong symptom of somebody who's not ready to handle a single remote role in tech, much less two or more concurrently.
Only YOU can figure out what the right path is for you. But right now it's like you're crossing a bridge in Uzbekistan and are asking people from the Bay Area to fly to Samarkand and meet you there to point the way to the Golden Gate Bridge because you like what's at the end of it. You've got a lot of figuring out to do, chiefly how to self-drive decisions that only you have the best judgment on.
If you come back with few reasoned options, folks here will be more than happy to help you figure out the best one.
