I used to (1996-2000) work remotely for IBM Watson Research (as a consultant). Visiting IBM once a month or so for a few days to communicate with team.

Been paid in US dollars at a higher rate than Canadian employer would pay, plus exchange rate was favorable too. Worked in a corp-to-corp arrangement through canadian-based consulting company.
