#32> 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/
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"

#33Do they hire you as employees or as contractors? I would assume the latter as unless they already have a nexus in your country there’s a whole lotta hassle for a single employee. Or is it, say, eu hiring within the eu, etc?
Many of them hire you as a contractor, of course. However, I noticed that more and more companies use an "HR as a service" (e.g. deel.com) to act as an intermediary who has an official branch in most countries and takes care of all the formalities for you.
I move between countries. Anyone happen to know how this works for this situation? (i.e. I'm currently in Mexico, but next week I'll be in Guatemala. Does Deel cope with this, and if so how?)

> And because the internet is global Unfortunately, getting less and less true by the day. When I first used internet, it was truly global, anything someone else could access, I could as well. Nowadays, I'm finding more and more geoblocks everywhere. Sometimes I cannot access a website because apparently "a lot of internet criminals are also from the country you are accessing our website from, so you're collateral da…
The geoblock is just an indicator that it's becoming more and more global, with more users. Who are the bad actors here? The "copyright lobby", the "scammers", or is it the vendors making and selling these draconian fencing tools?
Blocking someone because of their geographical location would mean (to me) that it's becoming "more localized", not "more global". Before I could access websites everywhere, now I cannot.

#35It would be great if they could publish their salary bands. If you are advertising jobs to Washington State residents, by law, need to publish salary bands. This seems to be not compliant with our law.

#36How does "payment in USD" work, if I am not from the US? If the exchange value drops, I cannot pay rent? Everyone should probably get the employer to offer a currency-hedged payment, the fee is not that high.
Can you tell me about how a hedging solution works when a nobody knows if the person will be working for the company for 2 months or 5 years? Is the salary to be renegotiated if the rate moves too much?
The FX risk cannot be magicked away.

Additionally to the silbling comments - if the employer only offers USD payment, virtually all banks will offer some financial product to hedge against currency risk. This comes at a price, of course, but presumably the employer pays well enough that it's still worth it.
Can you tell me about this product? Does it cover 1 year of employment?

Even if you move between countries you still must have a tax residency somewhere. So you're employed from the place where you have your tax residency.

If you live in a country with that volatile currency, then chances are even miserable by 1st world standards remote salary in USD is rudiculuosly higher than local market, and you are rich anyways. And it usually goes the opposite direction, i.e. local currency get cheaper over time, thus you are becoming "richier". Trust me, payments in stable convertible currency is a huge deal for many-many people outside of US

I feel like most people would see payment in USD is as a positive, not a negative.
