I would heavily disagree on any benefits of being physically in the US.
Working for US companies remotely while in a warm European place (Italy, Spain, Portugal) is the real deal.
- rsstack 5y agoThe US is diverse in terms of both culture and climate :) Many people I know want to live in the US for various reasons. And I can't offer relocation to any European country without having operations in Europe, for the same reason that people outside of the US can't offer relocation to the US.
- klipt 5y ago> And I can't offer relocation to any European country without having operations in Europe That's not entirely true - several European countries offer "Digital Nomad" visas that are specifically aimed at attracting people who won't take jobs in their host country, but will instead receive income from elsewhere and spend it in their host country, thus boosting their host country's economy. See: https://www.etiasvisa.com/etias-news/digital-nomad-visas-eu-countries https://www.etiasvisa.com/etias-news/digital-nomad-visas-eu-... If you partnered with the right European law firms, you could totally offer a nice package of US based salary + assistance with "Digital Nomad" visa application.
- paxys 5y agoIt is difficult to meaningfully collaborate with a team that is working in US time zones if you are in Europe/Asia. You can make it work, sure, but saying that there is no benefit to being in the same place is disingenuous.
- asPontas 5y agoHow does one go about doing that? I have been living in Spain and having a hard time getting remote work with U.S. companies despite having a PhD in computer science and being a U.S. national. Do you have any pointers?
