Good to know! I had a look and actually my job board already has Sourcegraph jobs (I scrape jobs from all over the internet) - https://www.remoterocketship.com/company/sourcegraph However, they were all classified as hiring in the US only. The reason is that the location is listed as "Remote". I used to classify "Remote" as "Anywhere in the world", however I found that many US companies tend to list the location as "…

Thank you. This is the way. US recruiters: please use "Remote - US" if you mean "anywhere in the US", and only use "Remote" if you mean "anywhere in the world"

this should be addressed. It's a serious pain.

JustWatch (company I work at) also hires basically from everywhere: https://talent.justwatch.com My team is split over Germany, Sweden, Croatia, India. We are all fully remote.

I just took a look and all jobs says hybrid. How it supposed to be globally remote?

> I hope it's useful! It is, thanks! Are you taking submissions? Sourcegraph hires anywhere. All-remote: https://handbook.sourcegraph.com/company-info-and-process/re... Team bios with locations: https://handbook.sourcegraph.com/team/

Just a heads up, on my iPhone, when I scroll to the All Remote heading and stop (on your first link), I get a wild flicker as the page tries to scroll back and forth rapidly. Just thought I’d let you know.

Thanks! I'm not directly affiliated.

I see someone at Sourcegraph has been tracking this issue at https://github.com/sourcegraph/handbook/issues/3666

Sorry for the glitchy scrolling issue on our handbook, thank you both for re-raising this, and thank you @niel for the PR (https://github.com/sourcegraph/handbook/pull/6080). I confirmed that the PR fixed it, and I just merged the PR.

Not really. I left Germany last year. As I wasn't a citizen and I'm not now a resident, I'm not a tax resident of Germany. Edit: clarification: I specifically de-registered with the German tax system, as required by German law. And to establish a new residency, I would have to live more than 180 days in that country, which I haven't yet. I have multiple citizenships, so I'm not automatically a tax resident of a count…

Unless the us is one of those citizenships which mandates filing. And I suspect that if you dodge tax residency by avoiding 180 days anywhere I figure you’re at risk to any border agent with a sore ass having a bad day.

I'm not "dodging tax residency" - I'm legitimately travelling.

There's a lot of discussion on this in the digital nomad community. You literally can't register as a tax resident without spending at least 180 days in a country, for most countries. And yes, some tax authorities get a bit strange about people not having a tax residency for an extended period, but we're just following the rules.

The US is different because of the Federal/State tax split, and Federal taxes don't depend on residency. Not many other countries have this split.

Australia (one of my citizenships) is moving towards having to file tax returns even if not resident, but afaik it's not there yet.

Out of curiosity, how do you get paid, if you don't mind sharing? As the owner of a company, I can barely figure out how to legally pay people just in the USA, and every new state is a new headache. I can't even imagine trying to pay people across the world. And I'm already using 3rd party (Gusto) to manage it. But they don't do all the details like setting up your corporate entity in each place. Does your paycheck c…

Not OP, but I also work in a remote company. Our company uses deel.com. You only need to set up a corporate entity when the number of employees exceed a certain limit IIRC. When that happens, yes it's a bit of a hassle.

Greek here, we (a non-profit with 20+ employees and several contractors) are able to pay local people. Sometimes we hire contractors (people or companies) fron other European Union countries (mostly Germany and Spain). We would love to figure ways to pay people but it seems very complicated to do it ourselves.

Aren't there multiple companies (I don't want to promote any) doing just that: being intermediaries with corporate entities everywhere to enable other companies to hire locally?

"Should" is a loaded word that I won't address, but commonly "work from home" is the term used when you're still located near the office, vs. "remote" which is where you're nowhere near an office.

I'd guess, many people wouldn't commute more than 1h to work every day. So, I'd say, "remote" is everything out of that range.

I'd say remote is not needing to go to the office at all, outside of seldom teambuilding-like events. Everything else is WFH.
