IIRC if you're hiring someone remotely, and they live in the EU, all they need is to incorporate themselves as a one-man company. I applied to one American company during my most recent job search and that's what their recruiter told me.

But I think it's more if the potential employer would want to deal with that for your special snowlfake rear end, when they have the hiring processes standardized. I know we're either putting people on payroll or using a few companies for external workforce like Randstadt or Accenture. I dunno how that'd work if I just told a hiring manager to just send the money to some LLC.

This is a man that has c-level management written all over him," and I'm going to give him a job offer on the spot. A cross between Ivan Vasilievich and Trading Places

I’ll be dead before I move to the BC interior; the banjos are even louder than they are here… we’re looking around Nanaimo, cause Victoria is laughably priced. sadly.

I applied to one American company during my most recent job search and that's what their recruiter told me. this sounds doable, but setting up the entity and then making sure the accounting and taxes is all done correctly is probably a major headache. not to mention that you would have to find a us based company willing to bring you on and not firing you at the drop of a hat, which seems to be the fate of pandemic era remote workers even before the big layoffs started. last year when i was looking for remote gigs i found almost nothing worthwhile. but then i was not desperate and probably i was searching for the wrong thing anyway e: to be fair my current location in france has a pretty nice pto system and i only go to the office 2 days a week so while it is not figgieland, it is fine for now

people would walk literally across the street (literally!) to a competitor and get massive pay hikes and the closest thing to a strategy for this was "idk hope that the bubble pops and they come crawling back"
