Not me, but I work with people who do (or could do) that.
To cut it short, in my field, software development, there are a lot of consultant companies which enlist regular SW engineers and basically rent them to other companies looking for (mostly) temporary help in their projects.
These consultant companies have lots of connections and I would imagine would be more likely to find you remote only gigs than through regular job channels. At least my company requires some weekly office presence for the permanent employees, but basically has no enforced requirements for the temporary consultants.
I guess it depends also, do you already have a skillset, or are you going to choose a trade based on the remote work opportunities?
Would you tell in which part of the world you are?
I’m living in France and am looking for a gig/job like this (senior expert c++ and a bunch of more) and I’m not very good at navigating this kind of jobs, the companies here take an outrageous part of whatever you earn, and to compensate they treat you like shit 🙂↕️. So I thought a swedish (am swedish) or english speaking company (am fluent) could be interesting…
I’m an IT Consultant that works 99% remote (occasionally in the office, but they are trying to get us in more), temp contractors I see tend to have the highest amount of freedom but lose on the job security, us permanent hires have to seek permission to travel and work, but have our job security.
Then there are the client requirements as well, some demand on site consultants every day, others occasionally, then the majority in my experience are more than happy with pure remote work.

Yeah this is pretty much smack on.

I’m one of those temporary consultant in software development. Working from home 100% since COVID.
