That's the company's problem.
- skrebbel 3y agoIt’s not. If I have to pay some service or agency a lot of money to be able to employ you, there’s less money left to pay you. Employers at distributed companies don’t look at your take-home salary, they look at the total cost to employ you. Fees and taxes differ wildly per country, there’s no other way to compare. So if a large % of that total cost goes to middle men, then that makes you a more costly employee at no benefit to either you or the company. If I’m considering two people for a job but one is in a place where paying them well means I spend a huge amount on fees (or “employer-side taxes” for that matter, looking at you Austria), I might well choose the other.
