Hey there, how hard/easy is it for an European to get a remote job working for the US?

I get truly amazed at the salaries I see shared around here, I'm from Portugal which is to most of Europe what Mexico is to US.
Currently earning ~25k and I make more than 90% of my friends, and most of us are engineers with a master's degree 🤡

It might be possible but not easy. A lot of times it due to tax implications of hiring an overseas employee and many companies dont wanna deal with it

Yeah I inderstand, but even a low wage is well above our average so it could make sense for the employer.

I think first and foremost you may need to have a visa to work for a US company ? That's my thought. But doesn't hurt to reach out and look for opportunities here or LinkedIn. Beware of scammers though.

The word remote can be a loose term here. Best to check with the company that's hiring. Remote could mean within the state the company is located or it could mean anywhere ( domestic and international).

Get a job through a contractor company in your country.also, a masters degree isn’t required.

Does anyone know comp for an L4 Global Account Rep role (base, equity, bonus). I’m asked to give my expected earnings prior to going into my final round. Any advice would help!

First time in negotiation but offer is for $25k more, $90k-> $115k. Guaranteed 25% bonus. They seem hard to budge but is that worth a jump? I know it’s about an extra $1300/month for base

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.
