I am a US employee of a delaware-registered C-Corp, using Gusto to pay payroll. I don't have foreign tax obligations despite being based in Europe. I want to avoid paying unncessary US state taxes (since I'm not based there). How do I use Gusto, Rippling, etc to do this?
How do you go about finding short term leases? Do you move from country to country frequently? What made you decide to leave your country of origin?
I’m 30 years old and I’ve been working since I was 14. I started in hospitality and later worked in manual labor and mechanical jobs. I also completed a mechanical apprenticeship and studied mechatronics engineering, but I never really worked in that engineeringfield.
I’ve realized over the years that a traditional 9–5 environment really doesn’t suit me. I’ve always preferred working independently and I’ve been able to push through physically and mentally demanding jobs, but I don’t want to continue that path long-term.
Right now I’ve saved around 20'000€ and I’m trying to make a change towards a remote lifestyle where I can work from different countries. I’m open to learning new skills from scratch – I currently don’t have strong programming experience (only some basic C from university).
I’m motivated, disciplined, and I can learn consistently if I have a clear direction.
I’ve traveled a bit (Vietnam for two weeks, which I really liked). I could also imagine living in places like Thailand, Portugal, or Brazil, but I’m open to other suggestions.
My main questions are:
Appreciate any honest advice.
Buenas a tod@s, trabajo en Italia para una mediana empresa de consultoria y quisiera mudarme algunos meses a España, consciente de todos los riesgos. Tengo un PC de la empresa, pero no me conecto con VPN, a carpetas comunes, por ejemplo en SharePoint, sino con acceso a internet y usuario y contraseña en SharePoint, Teams y Outlook.
Quisiera saber si hay alguna manera de que no le salte a la empresa mi conexión desde otro país. Soy completamente ignorante en el tema y os pido ayuda como si estuvierais explicando algo a un niño. 😄gracias por adelantado.
We work in remote access, so naturally we think a lot about lightweight work setups while traveling.
One use case we find really interesting is the idea of traveling without carrying a full laptop setup.
Instead:
For a surprising amount of work, it’s actually been pretty workable:
That said, internet quality and latency still make or break the experience, and there are definitely tasks that still feel much better on a physical machine.
Feels like we’re reaching a point where people might not need to carry all their computing power with them all the time anymore.
Curious how others think about this:
What still absolutely requires a laptop for you when traveling?
Lately I feel like I’m constantly “online,” even when I’m technically off work.
The AI boom has made work feel nonstop and I’ve been struggling to mentally disconnect. I’ll finish meetings and realize I barely processed parts of them because my brain is overloaded. Then I try to spend time with my kids and I’m so mentally drained that I’m only half present.
That part honestly bothers me the most.
I’ve talked a little with friends/family, but sometimes I don’t want to keep repeating the same stress or sound like I’m not handling things well.
Curious if other remote/digital workers have been feeling this lately too.
