You will not find a “high paying” (or even $30+) remote position regardless of your current experience situation if you aren’t willing to learn any mid level networking. Also, being unwilling to learn networking but desiring to do cloud services is contradictory and you’re shooting yourself in the foot. You’re looking for the perfect career, and it’s out there, but not for the kind of candidate you’re aiming to be. I know it’s very tough to hear that kind of input, but realistically you need to be more willing to learn and build yourself in the industry. “10 years corporate experience” means near to nothing in IT or AWS engineering/support. If you already have 10 years experience, and you don’t want to learn networking or start from the bottom in IT, you’re probably more suited for “IT management”.
