A lot of employers want employees that will be active during normal business hours (+/- a couple hours). There are still quite huge wage & cost of living differences, e.g. a Bulgarian programmer working remotely for a Danish, Norwegian, Swiss or English company will be getting several multiples of what they'd be able to get locally and still be in roughly the same time zone (which is important for some companies/indi…

If same timezone is all you want, why restrict it to EU? Cape Town is the same time zone as Bulgaria, and if you're outsourcing anyway EU citizenship doesn't matter.

I think you're reading too much into the name - it's simply a site that collates job offers that align well with European time zones. It doesn't actually say you have to have an EU citizenship, anyone can apply to the ads collected by it.

I think a lot of these job postings would have a lot more success if they showed salary ranges, in fact that just applies to all job postings. Why apply for EU remote working (if living in the EU) when you can remote work for a US based company? The timezone is off but programmers should be able to work autonomously and independently.

One big upside I can think of would establishing a permanent residency in the country of your employer.

I'm currently working remote for a US based company, and was only able to stay in Ireland for three months on a 90-day visa. There's also a 90 day limit every 180 for US Citizens in the Schengen zone (most EU states, minus UK+Ireland). This is actually a problem I'm actively looking to solve, since I'd like to spend more time there.

I'd imagine that working for an EU company would help when applying for various exemptions or longer stay visa.
