The big question is that how much pay cut are you willing to take? Surely this will not match what people are getting on other richer countries in the EU.
Not to mention remote work for the US. You get 5 time the french pay in the bay, 3 times if you remove health insurances, taxes and retirement savings.
What do you mean they are the same? Hiring an immigrant who is legally authorized to work in the country is different than figuring out the target country's tax laws. It's the same reason American companies tend to disallow remote work from places they don't have a physical presence.
