I'm currently in the US on H1B. Can I work for a remote job outside of the US either full time or as a contractor? (I'm aware that my visa will get revoked which doesn't matter)

Yes, it’s possible. I kept a US address and worked for a US company, but lived outside of the US. My firm allowed the hours worked to be reported as worked in my “home” state and at the end of the year, I filed both a US non-resident tax return and a tax return in the country I lived in (which has a tax treaty with the US, so gave me credit for US taxes paid). It was not advantageous from a tax point of view, mind you...

Your personal tax is one thing
Colluding with your company to potentially fraudulent report US Expenses(and associated tax evasion) and potentially defraud the client is totally another

I believe that you need to be within a commutable distance to your office (at least my company told us that). So i think the answer is no

OP sneakily wants to keep 2 jobs. It’s ok I guess until you get caught which is unlikely. Tension mat lay meri jaan.

Wait why does it matter if OP has a job in the US for which they’re on H1B and then they have a job outside the US? Why should the H1B be affected by the second job?

It’s looking like my job is gonna start asking us to return to the office. We have an open office plan and before we wfh FT I would save all my work for my telework days bc I can’t get shit done in the office. I’m having major anxiety about them making this decision. I know I’m not alone that people don’t want to return to the office. My ADHD and the open office just makes working from the office a nightmare and I’m feeling really nervous and kind of resentful.
