So I am experienced with WordPress in the sense that I’ve rebuilt the same sites over and over again for experience for about 3 years now (hobbyist).
I desperately want to work remotely. I hired a person who’s profession is finding work for people. He’s got a lot of 5-star reviews.
When I asked him to help me find a job in WordPress development he said it would be unlikely and difficult to find because most of the time that’s freelance.
I was wondering if it really is a difficult path to find work as a fulltime wordpress developer for a company? I am tired of endless hours trying to get my own freelance gig going and only spending money.
Suggestions? tips?

Look around at local agencies, have your portfolio ready and send some cold emails.
Agencies, 100%. It would definitely help if you have another skill set to complement your WordPress skills – such as SEO, copywriting, PPC, graphic design, etc. This makes you a viable candidate for smaller agencies who don’t have need of a FTE in WordPress only. I’ve had to hire WP staff in the past, but we needed them to cover other bases to make it a full time job. If things go well for you and the agency, make it known that you’d like to hand off that other work and focus on WP before they would add more resources.
Check linkedin. There are many listings everyday for fulltime wp positions
A lot of large corporations have WordPress sites that would be too expensive to move to a different platform they are looking for full time WordPress devs. But you have to really know php/html/jQuery/js/MySQL and develop themes from scratch. But there are jobs out there. I have one. You should be able to crate custom Gutenberg blocks and handle basic backend functions
