Yea, no. It's kind of funny that the image of the world is centered at North America. That's how I feel about Google (and a lot of other big tech) hiring practices.
I'm not saying you can't work for Google from the UK, Germany, India, or other places, but it gets a lot harder.

- BossingAround 5y agoI don't know to be honest. Realistically speaking, the bigger the company the easier it should be to hire elsewhere. Google has legal representation pretty much everywhere in the world, yet when I see engineering positions, they are mostly "anywhere in the US". For example, I feel like Oracle, IBM, or Accenture will be happy to hire you in a country like Slovenia, while companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc. are more likely to force you to relocate to a place where they've got a large office. All of the above is my subjective perspective of course, I haven't worked for Google, MS, nor Apple. I'd love to know which big tech companies are happy to hire a remote-only engineer and let them work from their own country.
