Ask HN: US expats/nomads, how do you find remote-out-of-US jobs in US?

Think of it this way - if they’d hire you, why wouldn’t they hire someone much cheaper.

You can’t identify them from the outside, but your network can. If you want to try, try companies with heavy worldwide presence.

You don't, you find a US company with a local entity that hires you on a local contract in that country. That way you're compliant with taxes, and the company is compliant with employment law in your country.

The alternative to that is starting a sole-trader company in the country you're in, and contracting directly with the US company through it (or a remote-employees-as-a-service company that basically does this on the company's behalf for a fat fee).

Go on Linkedin and search for small companies with less than 50 employees that have been in business for 3-5 years minimum. Figure out what they do, what they sell and if you would be interested in their company. Don't worry about whether they have a job listing or not.

Approach their founder(s) directly and sell yourself.

I imagine it's a very crowded and competitive market to work remotely for US companies (and not through a sweat shop agency). The fact that a candidate has emigrated from US shouldn't typically be a big factor.
