Working in South America for u.s. based company
I’m a software engineer in the u.s. and have been at my current company a little over 8 years. I’m planning to ask soon about being allowed to work remotely in South America.
After looking into this it seems like the options are either: 1) being made a contractor, or 2) having the company use an EOR. Potentially #3 just doing it under the table.
The company has contractors in South America but they are citizens and right now I’m not aware of anyone doing what I’m trying to do but I think it’s possible since the company is over 5k people. We also have offices abroad and I’ve heard of u.s. employees being transferred there but not in South America.
Has anyone attempted this and what is most likely?
Seems like being made a contractor but wanted to see what everyone thought.
