Any college degree. I started working when I was 14, finished high school when I was 16 and went straight into tech instead of uni. Supposedly there's an exception where they evaluate experience vs credentials, but in my experience it

I'm curious where you find them? One frustration is that only 2 job search sites (angel list and weworkremotely) have any featured to list "will hire from anywhere". Remote generally means "from our country". Are yo

Great suggestions, thanks! > You can always create an LLC in the US and work for it remotely. So your employer pays a contractor (your LLC), LLC pays you dividends. Talk to an accountant in Turkiye, but I doubt there will be any taxation

I am married to a Turk and am here on a residential permit that I renew every 3 years.

We'd love it. I've applied to a few dozen jobs in Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona and Copenhagen. I'm shocked at the low salaries, but still I get tripped up by my lack of a degree.

> Why not start working on a college degree to solve the work permit problem (wgu.edu comes to mind)? I think about this, considering I'll be retired in the next decade due to declining health, it feels like a huge investment in tim

As long as I'm working remotely for a company that doesn't have a presence in Turkiye (unless that presence is in one of the international development zones) then there's nothing for me to worry about. At least that's

They don't actually. I still own a home back in the states, and still pay local taxes. From the state's point of view, I just work remotely for Californian startups.

I have an American contracting company, but rather the problem is a lack of customers. To start a company here I have to hire two or three local employees before I am allowed to conduct business. It's a fairly anti-business country.

Where are you based out of? I'm not in the EU, but rather in Turkiye. I'm a US citizen, and though it's legal to work here for companies who don't have a local presence, the HR departments at American companies tend to

> Most places have at least a couple hours of overlap with the US. What time zone are you in? UTC+3 (Istanbul). Realistically I get 2-4 hours per day overlap with San Francisco and 4-6 with New York. My criteria has been basically anybod

Sadly, it is not an EU country I live in, or the issue would have solved itself, and I'd have citizenship by now. I can't actually get a work permit in the country I live (turkiye) through marriage, but need to get sponsored. At t
