Hey <CEO>,
Thanks for getting me the paperwork and for working to accommodate my pre-existing condition (of being a <COUNTRY>ian)!
A little confused though? In my conversation with <CTO> I was offered full-time employment @ $XXX,XXX USD with benefits, vacation, and an equity package.
While I understand that it might not be possible to employ me as an FTE, I hope that we might be able to come to terms that are closer to what was originally offered.
I'm free after <TIME> if you'd like to chat!

- x0x0 5y agoMaybe look in your country for PEOs and suggest one (ideally their HR would do this, but small company). They should cost about $1k/month, plus whatever benefits they're giving you. The equity may be entirely impossible though; depending on your country, that can be a landmine of laws.
- kjaftaedi 5y agoIt's definitely not legal to employ you as an FTE Just like if someone from the US came to your country, your country will 100% prevent you from hiring them without significant life-changing effort. Hopefully your negotiation for additional pay goes in your favor. Good luck!
- jeromie 5y agoHow did this work out for you? Super curious about how your experience went in practice.
