The exit is real. We found it. Come with us.
CAPTAIN'S LOG — EXITENGINE.FYI
I am the captain of a ship that doesn't have a full crew yet. In the pirate bands of the 17th century, captains weren't appointed from above — they were elected by the crew, accountable to the crew, and replaceable by the crew. That's the only kind of captain worth being. I'm trying to get my partner and myself out. I'm taking as many people with us as I possibly can. The ship has room for 500. Fifty sail free. All are welcome on the water.

EXIT ENGINE
We monitor 500+ employer career pages every 30 minutes and auto-submit your application — before the job hits LinkedIn or Indeed. You wake up to a text: your application was already submitted.
By the time a job appears on LinkedIn or Indeed it has been sitting on the company's own career page for 48 to 72 hours. You are not applicant 10. You are applicant 300. Hiring managers are already in interviews.
This is not a resume problem. It is not a skills gap. It is an information timing problem — and the job boards profit from you not knowing about it.
The Exit Engine goes directly to the source. No middlemen. No delay. No competing against the flood.
We monitor 500+ company career pages directly, every 30 minutes, around the clock.
The moment a matching remote job appears, we auto-submit your application before anyone else sees it.
You get a text message: "Your application was already submitted." Go back to sleep.
Queer Americans who are done waiting for their state to decide they deserve rights. Trans people who need out now, not eventually. Neurodivergent people who are exhausted by a hiring process that was never designed for how their minds work. People living in states that have become hostile, unsafe, or simply unbearable.
People relocating to SHIELD cities — Chicago, Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, Denver, Austin — where local protections exist regardless of what federal law does next. People who are done with the United States entirely and want to build a remote life somewhere the world feels less broken. People who just need a faster exit than the system currently offers.
You do not have to explain yourself to join.
The cap is not artificial scarcity. There are simply not an unlimited number of fully remote entry-level jobs available at any given moment. The limit exists so the system actually works — so members are not competing against thousands of other members for the same handful of openings.
There are always 50 free slots. Not trials. Not discount codes. 50 simultaneous completely free memberships — no credit card, no expiration date, no clock counting down. When someone in a free slot finds their remote job and escapes, that slot goes first to a friend they choose to nominate, then back to the scholarship waitlist. The free slots never disappear. They keep moving to whoever needs them next.
The 450 paid slots work the same way. $99 a month gets you off the waitlist and into the system. When you find your job, you cancel. We are not trying to keep you. We want you gone. High churn is not a failure here — it is the entire point. If every single member churns every month because they all found remote jobs and escaped, that is a perfect outcome.
The $99 exists because building and running this costs real money and the people who built it have bills and no safety net, the same as you. It is a governor, not a profit center. The founder is also trying to escape. This is mutual aid from someone building the ladder while still climbing it. There will never be a billionaire at the end of this story.
Everything we know about remote job hunting, escaping hostile states, relocating internationally, and building a life somewhere safer. Free. Always.

Pre-order your seat now for $99/month. Your card is charged today. You are first on the ship when we open the doors. No waiting. No lottery. No hoping there's still room.
We are still building. We will tell you exactly when access opens. If we are not ready within 90 days of your charge date and you want a refund, email the Captain and you will get one. No questions. No runaround.
Your card is charged now. Access granted at launch. Full refund within 90 days if we're not ready and you want out — just email captain@remotefirst.fyi
One membership. One price. $99 a month. That's it. If you want to help someone else get out, you can gift them their first month. They get an invite code, they activate their seat, they do the work. We find them the job.
Buy someone's first month. We send them a prepaid invite code with your message. They activate it, upload their resume, and we get to work finding them a remote job.
Month two is on them — the invite code prompts them to add a card before day 30. If they can't, their account goes dormant, not deleted. Their spot is held. When they're ready, $99 restarts it. They never lose their place in line.
We are not going to cut anyone off permanently for being broke. We're just going to pause and wait for them.
