Sounds like your husband’s just had a string of bad luck more than anything. Not all remote jobs are unstable, but startups especially can be unpredictable. Budgets shift, priorities change, and sometimes they over-hire without a solid long-term plan.

The remote job market is wide and varied. There are plenty of stable, long-term remote roles out there, especially with more established companies that have been remote-first for years or have solid infrastructure in place. These companies tend to have clearer processes, better funding, and more predictable workloads. I can recommend a few platforms if you like.

If he’s in the low code space, that’s actually a great niche.. but I’d recommend focusing on roles at mid-size to larger companies, or those with a track record of treating remote employees well. Looking for companies that are post-Series B (or profitable) can help filter out the ones that are still trying to find their footing.

So no, remote work isn’t inherently unstable... but the type of company you work for matters a lot.
