Absolute shit. Its easier to get a contract from a US firm working from europe than it is to actually work remote in europe for a european company.
Besides, the pay is shit. European companies think 40k is a great salary for an engineer. Better rates to be had in murica. much better. 3-4x+ better.
- zerr 10y agoHow easy it was to get US clients? In my experience, Americans are afraid of dealing with people from "overseas". I did have a couple of US clients though.
- wayn3 10y agowell, its simple. Step 1: Don't call yourself a freelancer. Freelancers are the idiots who get paid after the fact, can't speak proper english and have to deal with money-conscious clients who think $5000 is a lot of cash. If you do contract work, you are a CONSULTANT. You CONSULT. The word implies you know more about what you're doing than your client. Words are powerful. Step 2: Have a skillset that is in demand. Step 3: ??? Step 4: Get Rich
- zerr 10y agoYes, I'm consulting, for European clients mostly.
