I'm in the UK too. But also remote means you can get a job "based" anywhere. Check out some US firms for instance, many are hiring and are happy with euro time zones.
The US companies are hiring, just like everybody else.
Multi-nationals now seem to post most jobs as “remote” which means global. A smaller number is “US-remote”. Usually this is not for tax reasons but for business or security reasons if dealing with the US government.
Hiring remotely is easy for these companies as they usually have a subsidiary already in country.
But even if not, there are now agencies that take care if things like taxation etc. I believe remote.com might be the one most known but it is certainly not the only one.
Very much reflects my experience. I am with a US tech now and they are very conducive to hiring Brits. They know on the whole we hold a lot of quality engineers, there are no language barriers , very little cultural differences at all.
I never considered this type of roles before because it was sort of a given in my head that they would want US based candidates for taxation reasons.
Have you seen a big change regarding this, from US based companies?
