Finding work in the Bahamas while living in the U.S.

I am originally from the Caribbean as I was born in Jamaica.  I have lived in the U.S. for many years and am now looking to move back to an island in the Caribbean.  I have visited the Bahamas on several occaisions and have enjoyed my time there.

I am interested in transitioning from the U.S. to the Bahamas and would like to know how feasible it is trying to do it remotely.  Is it better to live on the island first and then look for work there.

My background is in IT and I have 25 years of industry experience working in Software Development, Implementation,  IT Infrastructure,  In addition, I have worked in the consulting industry for several years with 15 years of project / program management.  My experiences have taken me across several industries including Financial Services, Hospitality, Education, IT,  and Healthcare.
