Is it worth applying to tech companies in the US if I'm based in London? Happy to be fully remote and travel, but not relocate.

I worked for a company in NYC remotely from London for a while so it is possible on the East Coast. They just paid me as a foreign contractor which is a standard practice. A big tech company could pay you through their London office which would make it even easier.

If they are on the West Coast I don't see how it would work with time zones, but if you're a serious night owl then maybe.

yeah you're right. West coast would be a killer

Be careful with assuming they’d employ you as a foreign contractor. You don’t likely have US working permission so they’d need to find another route to employ you. Ask upfront about this.

Yeah that is true. Especially large companies with rigid processes. I've only done it in small and medium sized businesses where I can speak directly to people with the power to make exceptions.

In theory it should be very attractive to them though. It's cheaper and comes with less liability than an employee on the payroll.

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.
