how do you expect the tax implications of your desire to work cross-border are to be handled? if the company you wanna work for doesn’t have explicit processes for “dealing” with employees that live somewhere where they have no legal entity/tax presence, they’re probably not gonna wanna touch you with a 10 foot pole unfortunately, even if they’re in the EU how does you freelancing with a US company work tax wise? does your dutch visa exempt you from taxes for some period of time, would you go through the pain and expense of dealing with both US and dutch tax accounting, or would you just pretend you’re still living in the US and not report any income to the netherlands at all (easy to get away with but not good if you get caught)?

Asymmetric POSTer posted:how do you expect the tax implications of your desire to work cross-border are to be handled? My goal has been to either work full time directly for a Dutch company, because that is easiest, or freelance for any company based in the US or EU. I get why some US companies have not bothered reaching out just because it would automatically feel like a hassle. The point of the freelance company is they are the company of record here in the Netherlands, they would handle all the disbursements to me and handle all the tax accounting. I know this can be done because it is 100% what my wife already does. She works freelance from here, her contract is with a US University doing federal research. They just send a lump sum payment to the freelance company and it all gets disbursed appropriately. The client has no other obligations. I put all this information in my cover letter and mention in screening calls, the few there have been.

gotcha yeah, even with your side of things being in order, it really is up to how open other company’s hiring processes are for their willingness to deal with a dutch freelance entity to bring you on good luck!

Anecdotally most teams at large UK companies I've worked with have some contractors in the EU, with Netherlands being somewhat common (along with Italy for whatever reason). I think if you can be a contractor it's not really an issue at least within the EU (+ UK) but being a direct employee is different, since the company would need to do a bunch more accounting to deal with it. Not there aren't companies that hire in multiple EU countries but typically they would open a local office. e: The contractors in this case being the same as regular employees for all intents and purposes aside from accounting, not working as freelancers or anything like that.

Being international adds some friction but I think it's layoffs etc pushing a lot of developer supply plus a shitload of ai resume spam flooding the market.

I've spent the last 9 months, in ADDITION to my so called career, writing some of the best code I've ever written. And I'm never going to see a dime for it. Instead I'm applying to every vaguely applicable job on linked in hoping some company deems my specific brand of autism valuable enough to keep me.

I remember when Stack Overflow Jobs hit the scene while I was still at Experts Exchange and somebody had the genius idea that we should have a jobs list too!! So we called some lovely API and listed the results and I don't think we even took a cut?

Does anyone know of a good interview coach? I have a friend who's a very good developer but constantly crumbles in interviews and I feel like they could use some actual live help with it.

Austin Community College has a career center with tele-interview practice and coaching that is available to anyone anywhere. Colleges in their area might offer the irl versions of the same thing to the community. 99% of interviewing is just getting over The Fear so applying to jobs you're overqualified for is also a really great way to practice

oh another thing that can help is to get involved in interviews on the other side of the table. Sitting in on the hiring side of the interview can help give more context to what they're looking for and common mistakes

arg, boned an assessment with a mixed up comparison operation at the 3rd of 4 levels and ran out of time. feel like i could have gotten credit for that whole third level had i like... 10 more minutes got the email confirmation saying i didn't meet the minimum score. im seeing if i can get that reconsidered with some conversational context with the hiring team 🙈 the assessment rated me as expert in problem solving and data and algorithms and one other dimension that i forget, and intermediate at refactoring - which to me is the right prioritization for a 90 minute assessment with 4 levels. leave the refactor for the end.
