What if the person is a US citizen/permanent resident (so no issues regarding work authorization in the US and tax report) but is located outside the US?Elston Gunn wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 4:46 pmLots of tech companies are now posting jobs where you can be remote if you want. As an example, my company is happy to hire the person we want regardless of where they’re located in the US.
YMMV, but speaking as non-FAANG tech here - it would depend on whether the company has operations in the host country. New jurisdictions are probably a non-starter, but Canada might not put you at a disadvantage to other candidates. I can tell you the pandemic and remote work environment has led to a lot of “Can I work permanent-remote from my villa in Maldives” type requests that do not go over well.dan9257 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 27, 2021 9:54 amWhat if the person is a US citizen/permanent resident (so no issues regarding work authorization in the US and tax report) but is located outside the US?Elston Gunn wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 4:46 pmLots of tech companies are now posting jobs where you can be remote if you want.

Yup, same here. Though for a lawyer I think there’s a slightly higher bar to be located somewhere different from the type of law you want to practice.Itcamefromthesea wrote: ↑Sat Mar 27, 2021 12:49 pmYMMV, but speaking as non-FAANG tech here - it would depend on whether the company has operations in the host country.

Do their employees work remotely? Not sure the connection to the thread here.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Sat Mar 27, 2021 7:27 pmHilgers Graben is a largely remote IP litigation boutique based in Lincoln, NE that generally hires biglaw alums. No idea what working there is like but their pitch is that they provide biglaw service at cut-rate prices due to "geographic arbitrage." They mostly seem to litigate in NE, CO, and TX.
Yes, they were mostly permanently remote even before the pandemic, sorry if I wasn't explicit enough.abiglawyer wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 3:23 pmDo their employees work remotely?
