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 pay my US and after taxes after claiming the foreign earned income exclusion. I have a digital nomad visa that specifically excludes income. No tax fraud

It sounds like your tax home is in the U.S., which would mean you don’t qualify to claim FEIE.

I’m outside of the USA for 365 days. I qualify. Physical presence test.

I still pay taxes because I make over the limit.
