Do you think being "under german law" complicates things? Workers rights and social taxes are both quite strong here and I think a foreign company has to obey these terms to hire me when I live here (right?).

(btw: I'm looking for a remote product manager job, maybe someone of you knows something)

They only have to “obey” if you are an actual employee. In my experience, it is more likely that you will be a contractor and need to be self-employed in Germany and pay your own taxes.

I’m an Australian living in Germany and working for US companies for 6 years.
