Not just taxes, but that's a big one
* states have different payroll and VAT taxes, and internationally it could get very different and messy
* NDAs, non-competes, and things like single-party consent for recording will vary by state and country. California, for example, basically banned non-competes, or else has to offer a lot of considerations to make them effective, but that ain't the case if you're in NYC, London, or Samarkand.
* data storage, data-in-transit, data-at-rest and logging rules may be different
* compliance rules like GDPR, CCPA, SOX, and PCI-DSS may have restrictions or not fly for one-off remote workers
* then there are the very real security challenges, like geofencing IPs, getting 2FA to work with international numbers, making sure you're not MITM'd, or that US / Chinese / European / etc. border security won't scan your laptop as you enter or exit. My last job at a F500 had very strict protocols for travel to China, Russia, and the Middle East -- and for credible reasons.
Meanwhile "remote in N. Carolina", even if 100% remote 45 min away, sidesteps a lot of those challenges.
