Are high paying international remote jobs possible? (alien.top)

I noticed a lot of digital nomads have to take a pay cut or have money saved up. Is it even possible to be a US citizen and have a remote job with good pay? I say this because if I want to live in a foreign country for say 3-6 months and then return back the US I don't want to be making only 30k a year.

I tried that approach with the first company I worked at. They eventually gave me permission to work from any country that they had an office in (large western European countries, Japan, Australia, US) but I wanted more freedom so I took a new job with a slight pay cut that let me work anywhere. I built up my salary within that company over a couple years, then changed jobs, getting a significant raise in the process.
