Hi all,
Has any US law firm associate tried working remotely abroad with their firm using an Employer of Record or as a 1099 independent contractor?
Thanks!

I had planned on doing this and even got it approved. But the time zone ended up being the sticking point. They needed me to stay within a specific time zone and the place I wanted to move was not on the approved time zone list. It sucks because there are so many hoops to jump through, and it still didn't work out.

I’m sorry it didn’t work out. I would stay in the same time zone as I’ve tried starting my work day at 3pm, which sucked.
Which structure were you planning on using?

I haven't tried doing it but I would be careful. Some companies don't allow that and you could end up being in trouble.

I work in a sucky IBM cic, making $54k. It’s a full time job with regular benefits and vacation etc, it’s working with government clients. The job isn’t what I applied for & constantly changes. I don’t like that, but I’m a full time employee which is “stable employment”. Btw, I’m in the DC area.

I just got hired for a government contract through Accenture for a Business Analyst role. Pay is $65 per hour. 3 year contract. Benefits too. No PTO. Holidays off with pay, after 90 days.

Thoughts?

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?
