Unlock Your Future: 10 High-Paying Remote Entry-Level Jobs Starting at $69K+

Remote job offerings are more common at the senior level, with data from Robert Half showing that 15% of new senior-level jobs created in the first quarter of 2025 were fully remote, compared to 10% of new entry-level jobs.

Yet, it is still possible to enjoy the perks of the work-from-home life even if you are just starting in a new career path, and many industries tend to pay their remote workers quite well, too.

These 10 jobs are hiring remote workers at the entry level and offer an average annual salary of at least $69,000, which is just above the national average.

Editor's note: All median annual salaries are from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

1. Data Scientist

Median annual salary: $112,590

Data scientists are in extremely high demand, so even at the entry level, you can negotiate remote work and a high salary. From health care to higher education, many industries employ data scientists to analyze data and create reports that inform their business decisions. Landing a job often requires a degree and/or certification.

2. Human Resources Specialist

Median annual salary: $72,910

Human resources (HR) specialists are involved in recruiting and screening new hires for their companies, and they often handle tasks such as payroll and benefits administration as well.

Although the work requires a lot of interaction with employees, much of that can be done virtually through email, Zoom meetings, and other digital platforms. The job typically requires a bachelor's degree in a related field.

3. Market Research Analyst

Median annual salary: $76,950

Market research analysts are hired across various industries to help boost sales by studying consumer trends and preferences. Although the work may involve numerous Zoom meetings and other virtual check-ins, it can often be done from a home office.

4. Information Security Analyst

Median annual salary: $124,910

Many jobs under the tech umbrella offer remote or hybrid schedules to their workers, including entry-level positions.

Information security analysts, who typically require a degree in computer science or a related field, help their employers protect their computer networks and other critical data.

5. Computer Programmer

Median annual salary: $98,670

A computer programmer's work, writing and modifying code for computer applications, easily translates to a remote setting.

Applicants who specialize in multiple programming languages and hold a degree or certification will likely have a competitive advantage when it comes to landing highly sought-after remote gigs.

6. Sales Agents (Securities, Commodities, and Financial Services)

Median annual salary: $78,140

These sales jobs fall under the finance umbrella. In the past, financial sales agents often flocked to New York City to secure well-paying jobs; however, these days, the trading landscape is changing, and agents can usually work remotely, according to the BLS. For entry-level work, agents typically need a bachelor's degree.

7. Video Editor

Median annual salary: $70,570

In today's digital world, where an online presence is required for pretty much every business, video editors are needed across many industries (not just entertainment and media).

Many editors do work in and for studios, but if you have the appropriate skill and the necessary programs at home, you could very well land a well-paying remote gig.

8. QA Analyst

Median annual salary: $131,450

A quality assurance analyst is another well-paying job under the tech umbrella. It involves working with software to test and identify any issues with applications or programs, and may also involve troubleshooting and collaborating with developers to find solutions. Luckily, these collaborative efforts can often be done online through video conferences.

9. Insurance Underwriter

Median annual salary: $79,880

Underwriters work for different types of insurance companies and analyze applications to make decisions like which to approve, how much to pay out, and the like.

A bachelor's degree or certification may be required to secure an entry-level job, but since most work is done in an office setting, it can often be easily translated to a remote role.

10. Technical Writer

Median annual salary: $91,670

Technical writers work in a variety of industries to help write and edit publications, such as journal articles, manuals, and reports. It is also a great field if you want to get ahead financially. However, the science and technology industries tend to hire the most, according to the BLS.

Writers typically need a bachelor's degree to land a job, and like many others under the STEM umbrella, work can often be done in a remote setting.

Landing a remote gig can help you improve your financial fitness in several ways: cutting out your commute costs, reducing your lunch budget, and more.

And while many suspect you need to work in tech to land a well-paying work-from-home job, there are plenty of other industries that still hire remote workers, even at the entry level.
