Is Reddit going to make Jason Morrissey move to SF from Melbourne?
- deminature 12y agoNon-US employees are apparently not required to relocate: https://twitter.com/micheletitolo/status/522531272258621443 https://twitter.com/micheletitolo/status/522531272258621443
- goatforce5 12y agoAustralians are eligible for E3 visas which are relatively easy and quick to get. It might be more amusing to go for the EB1 "alien of exceptional ability" visa though.
- mesozoic 12y agoLol I'd put Alien of Exceptional Ability on my resume.
- toomuchtodo 12y agoSo you can keep your Reddit job by moving outside of the US vs moving to SF?
- burkaman 12y agoI don't think that's really feasible, unless you have family in another country or something. It would be pretty tough to get a work visa so you can remotely work for a company back in the US.
- jontas 12y agoI'm sure you are correct, but thinking about it from the perspective of the host country, it seems like allowing this might actually be in their best interests. They get the income/sales/real estate/etc taxes from the new resident, without the resident taking up a local job that a native might hold instead.
- toomuchtodo 12y agoI'm actually surprised that more countries haven't create specific remote worker visas; they get all the benefits of having a new citizen (ie tax revenue) without the work of creating or nurturing local industry to employ that person.
- wastedhours 12y agoHaven't seen the official word, but it really surprises me - would have thought Reddit would be prime for remote working, even domestically.
