remote.com makes it easy

Whenever I was offered to work through Remote.com or Deel it was forcing me to be employed in their local branch as an employee. Which made the whole thing more complicated (higher taxation than on the direct B2B contract, etc.) and not so lucrative anymore.

That’s the point. You’re employed locally and do work for the remote company.

If you don’t want to work as an employee, then you can enter into a contracting relationship, but employers tend to avoid this because there’s always the risk that the local government determines the contractor is actually an employee and taxes are owed.

What, pray tell, does "decent" mean in this context?

Judging by the list it probably means "not gambling/crypto/laundering" so pretty good filter. Edit: nope, has got some online casino stuff in there. Ew...

Because Americans like working with other Americans why does there need to be a reason. Its simple and easy, shared culture, same laws for the most part, shared expectations, ease of communication both time and language. Why do we need to justify it!

Because it does not make economic sense. Also because that is comically inward looking and has a whiff of racism about it on the "shared culture" side..

the distinction I think you're trying to make isn't necessarily racism, but a bias toward ignorance-promoting tendencies to remain ignorant which can have the same result: insulation of thoughts, ideas, decisionmaking from outside views

i don't think it's wrong to say that you could probably find some improvement from an outside perspective and that you may be missing something if you aren't, but I don't think it's a simple enough problem that you can reduce aversion towards change to any single motivation without trying to understand their reasoning

It absolutely make "economic sense" to pay domestic salaries and keep the wealth in the country.

noooo you need to sell out your countryman to the unwashed masses over zoom calls until even you, the middle management, gets replaced

Is this a troll account?

I love this concept but also find it hard to believe the Linux foundation (currently only posting US based roles) will do remuneration in equity..!

Thanks, will double-check

Update: So actually they're mentioning profit sharing in their job ads:

(`We offer exceptional benefits - e.g., Fantastic health care, Unlimited PTO, 100% 401k match, profit-sharing, and exceptional healthcare plans.`).

I'll update the label as I'm treating both profit sharing, and equity sharing as the same things.

I always wondered why US companies are almost universally interested only in Remote/US candidates when there are millions of qualified world-wide applicants ready to work remotely on US hours. There exists companies that act employers of record allowing you to hire remote workers all over the world, and other than the internet connection lag, there should be no impact for a remote employee. There must be some untappe…

Lots of compliance issues come up. If you’re dealing with another company’s data, especially a large company, they may not be comfortable with their risk exposure in a “random” country.

There are many US companies hiring abroad. But if they make the effort to do this, are they going to hire someone from Europe for $100k/y or just go to the cheapest country and get them for $50k/y or less? They'll go to the cheapest countries, in the same time zone. So.. Latin America. You won't see their job ad.
