What does it really take to land a six-figure remote job?
In this episode of Rich and Remote, Karla Singson Booth is joined by Michelle Lambert, founder of Bella Connections, and Alex Booth, founder of GetCSM, to break down what companies are actually looking for when hiring for six-figure remote roles.
Beyond years of experience and impressive credentials, the conversation explores what really makes a candidate stand out. Michelle and Alex share what they see on the hiring side, including why proven results, specialized skills, curiosity, culture fit, and the willingness to keep learning can matter more than simply having a long resume.
They also get honest about what can disqualify candidates, how to spot questionable job postings, why applicants should be evaluating companies just as much as companies evaluate them, and what candidates may not realize about the opportunities waiting for them once they get inside the right organization.
If you're looking for a six-figure remote job, thinking about making a career move, or wondering what hiring managers actually notice during an interview, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you stand out and find the right opportunity.
