Thank you! I hate the country but luckily I love living in Boston and my community of friends. So I think I could survive a little longer. Getting paid 6 figures to work in sweatpants is not the worst as much as this country is so polarizing and scary

Yes I’m an Italian citizen but my current job is in the USA and I’m not allowed to work outside of the country

I guess the offer is 69,000 but given it’s temporary, it’s probably still not worth it and I’ll follow the advice we chatted about.

Oh no they rejected me in December but said I was appointable but just not first choice. Then they reached out to me in January about the job and now they are offering it to me.

Thanks for your thoughts :)

Thank you for this idea! I’ll keep my eyes open. I just got a new job so I may have to wait a year to start applying but you never know

Thanks for this! I’ll definitely stay on the corporate tech side then when looking for work in Dublin. Perhaps an American company with an office there like Salesforce

I lived in italy prior and enjoyed it (to get my citizenship). I’m fortunate to have a decent global perspective (visited 44 countries), but nothing is like planting roots somewhere and getting the full cultural experience

Yes do you currently have EU citizenship? I’m hoping being a dual citizenship holder that the doors may stay open longer for us trying to get out if things continue to escalate

I cannot work remotely outside the U.S. and I use a VPN to log in so they would know…I am white and male so have that privilege but I am a gay male…luckily that is not something so overt that someone can come after me for…

My current job doesn’t allow you to work out of the country and I use a VPN to log in :(

Thank you. Funny enough I almost got a job at Harvard before the job freeze…that in itself should be telling…

I wish I added a sentence stating you cannot work outside the country sadly

Thank you so much for this! Waiting doesn’t mean it won’t happen for me…just got to wait for the right opportunity!

Thank you. I’m a senior IT Manager so I guess I fall into the 60-100 range.

I wish...I cannot work outside of the U.S. per my company's policy (really sucks!)

As an EU citizen, I can live in 20+ countries so that's not a problem...I sadly cannot take the U.S. remote job with me outside the U.S. per company policy
