Time zones are probably the biggest limiting factor, followed by remoteness. In my experience, it's really hard and pretty slow to onboard a remote worker if you haven't already worked with that person in the past. And at a startup, you don't usually have the luxury of time on your side.
- nine_k 1y agoBasically all of South America is in US-friendly timezones. I worked with a few quite bright folks from Argentina, for instance. I suspect that flying someone from Buenos Aires to SF or NYC for onboarding and then and back would cost significantly less than $100k. Remote work from Europe is harder in this regard, and from India... would be night shifts only.

I do not mind working all day until I pass out, and I do not mind adjusting my life to a different timezone as long as I get paid enough, and considering that USD > HUF, it is probably a no-brainer. So yeah, hire me for full remote! Unfortunately traveling is out of the question due to disability.
