Normally I'd suggest the tech sector since they're more likely to be cool with remote workers, but they've been generally laying people off lately, so that might be a rough right now.

When interviewing, make sure it's clear that you can run tasks to completion as long as the objective is clear. This will make sure they understand they need to give you a clear task and not expect you to "just know" what they want from you. This seemingly small detail will make things work out better for everyone! Eventually, it would be better if you can just see what people are going to ask for and get it started (or competed!) before they even have to ask.

Expect to start on the low end for pay in the beginning. Keep track of how well you are doing, ideally in measurable ways. Things like "can handle XYZ reports with minimal oversight" and "get XYZ reports done in 30 minutes instead of the 90 minutes it took when I started" are some generic examples. These will be useful in making the case that you're doing more work in the same amount of time and so you have earned a substancial raise. If your boss doesn't schedule a check in about how well you're doing after 6 months, request one. See if they agree with your assessment. Listen to what they say they would like to see in the next 6 months.

I suppose these are probably good tips for many roles, but they're especially important for an assistant.

And thanks for the tip about Flirting with Bitcoin. I'm checking it out now. 🙂
