Ask HN: Sites, options, tax issues for remote working
Hi all. I'm an EU med/senior DevOps developer. I currently have a stable job in UKI but I've been considering the possibility of remote working. Reason for this is that for various family reasons I need to relocate for some years on a back-of-beyond place (still in EU though) where there is virtually no job market.
Yet there seem to be a lot of details in it that baffle me (how would I be paid for example and what to do with my residence country tax office). More importantly where is the best place to look for such job ads? I checked some sites that supposedly offer such job ads but they seem more like scum sites (and require payment). Also most jobs I find are US based and seem to apply to US citizens only - I can find very little for EU citizens. Can you point me somewhere to begin with ?
Thanks a million in advance!
PS: I'm not interested in sites like elance. I'm trying to land a normal(ish) job not a peanuts per hour contractor deal. I cannot make a living in EU with the rates going on these sites. Check out http://letsworkshop.com/ for jobs.I discovered the site here on Hackernews about a year ago. A freelancer called Robert has been running the site. He also sends out weekly emails with some great content relevant to people working remote. Good luck. The whoishiring thread here on HN has a few legit offers for remote work in EU but unfortunately I can't give you any tips on taxes/payments/etc...
