Those are both options, but there is a third. There are international payroll companies that handle local taxes and compliance. They're not cheap (a couple hundred per employee per month, plus usually a base fee of $1-2k/month), but for a company that's potentially doing such for multiple people, not just the post author, and more than few employees, it might be in reach. It's just a relatively hard sell if they haven't had the need for such in the past. I'd think getting a job at a local company would perhaps be more sensible, and was the route that I went before I got permanent residence in Germany (at which point I started my own company). I'm not certain on such, but I doubt the digital nomad offer a path to permanent residence, which if one wants to be long-term in the EU, eventually is a very nice thing to have sorted.
