    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 acco…

    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.

    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.

    Hi! I'm a DevOps/Sysadmin/whatever from the USA (California). I accidentally got married (in Turkiye, not the EU) while on vacation 8 years ago and never really came back. Since I …
