- chrisseaton 6y agoCan you work remotely? I've worked all my career for North American tech companies remotely from the UK. And it shouldn't be a pain! When you do get a job you know you'll be earning 95th!
- exdsq 6y agoSo I’m actually already working remotely on around ~$100k in the U.K. my partner starts her postdoc at Stanford next summer and I can get a J2 to move across but I think I’ll need to quit this work until I get a work permit out there? If there’s any sort of workaround I’m really keen to know of it!
- chrisseaton 6y agoI think you can work normally on a J2. You need a 'Employment Authorization Document' but I think that's just a formality and is easy to do. I think there's some funny rule about not 'supporting' the J1 holder though, so I don't know if you can earn more than her which you probably would if she's a postdoc? I'm not a lawyer - you should instruct one.
- exdsq 6y agoYeah I think I will, thanks for the help though! Don’t want to ruin her postdoc for a few months salary...
