#2Not sure what are you asking.
Could you be more precise?

#3In Europe software companies are more like factories. You punch in, work like a slave all day, then punch out. The socialist mindset created retarded managers. So anything deviating from the standard factory setup is seen as depravity. Europeans don't understand technology. For them software development is like manual labor. Get some monkeys, throw them some peanuts and use a whip to make them do stuff.
Overall, remote working in Europe is mostly done for US companies. EU companies are usually mentally disabled.

I agree.
Large companies sometimes have regulations around (limited) home working, but those who do it are looked at with suspicion from everyone else and only the very senior seniors dare to use it.

If I was born in Europe, who should I work for ? Should I move to UK, US, Australia ?

> Europeans work like a slave all day
Except in holidays
> The socialist mindset created retarded managers
Not all the retarded managers are socialists, and not all managers are retarded. Do you have free universal medical care for all citizens yet?
> Europeans don't understand technology
Not a single european country in the list of the five most polluting countries in the planet. Congratulations to USA for ranking again in the second place after China.

#8(Germany) In smaller companies it's certainly possible to arrange it - not sure how common it is. In larger companies, this is very unusual and usually not even considered, except for contractors.
There are a million of workplace laws and regulations that are hard to apply for someone who's working from home. E.g. I have heard from people working at home that their desk and chair needed to be inspected to make sure it is compliant (ergonomics etc).

Depends on what you want. US usually has the highest $. You can also remote to get as much $ and as few costs.

That's weird thing to say, I guess no replies from guys in UK (London & rest of the country).
It's similar for Netherlands and I know (from my experience) in Germany (Berlin).
'In Europe software companies are more like factories. You punch in, work like a slave all day, then punch out.' > again not sure which countries you speak about (ukraine or romania lol?), maybe it's like that in some, but some have very relaxed attitude
'Overall, remote working in Europe is mostly done for US companies. EU companies are usually mentally disabled.' > again, there're tons of EU based remote work, and I just won't comment on the rest of this generalisation.
I've got a nice remote offers from Spain and Netherlands as we, despite being in UK. I'm getting them all the time.
So just to top the thing about working like a slave all day... - my EU company gives me remote because I do work better in this mode, - my EU company gives me a lot of benefits that guys in US don't see (despite that average salary I'd say is lower in here), - basically it's yet another EU company that hires me and gives me total freedom because I deliver
i.e. if you're good you will always find a remote job with conditions you want.
btw. your comment shows your ignorance and nothing more (and a lack of ability to produce some facts instead of meaningless offences)
'EU companies are usually mentally disabled.' - seriously? you work for some1 or you're building your own 'empire' with this kind of attitude and beliefs?
Overall, your post is full of bs.
