Not really, mutual agreements are a thing. If you pay someone with one month notice 3 months worth of pay to leave on the same day, they would be stupid not to take it.

3 months I feel bit questionable still. As depending on location there might be loss of unemployment benefits.

yeah, you have to go higher than what they would get in court.

ok, yeah, as long as you pay more than the remaining working time. but an employee has to watch out how that affects unemployment benefits.

Power iteration of Google matrix is the concept to look up. They reduced the PageRank problem to a well known linear algebra problem with a lot of efficient libraries.

Comparing latency and throughput of local and remote assets says nothing.

Like RealLifeLore, extremely annoying clickbaity bullshit.

99% of US companies with EU offices will NOT pay you anywhere close to the US level of money, IIRC the offer I received from Atlassian in Poland some years ago was not even competitive with the local market.

+1; international offices are subsidiaries of the parent company, They’re setup to comply with local laws and also pay local market wages (vs US wages).

Any sane bigTech company in the US won’t want to deal with complexity of hiring EU staff directly, as the US HR staff will be on the hook for EU & country specific HR laws, tax requirements, benefits administration etc.

This! These American companies open their offices in order to cut costs. They aren't going to pay the same US salaries except outside of big tech.

Depends, if you're a known good quality they'll pay regardless of location (generally).

Those tax changes are irrelevant - you can make double for the top of the local market working remote for US companies. Several percent in taxes doesn't make a difference at this point.

Correct, and that's what I do

Not the other guy, but for me majority do B2B where you are a contractor (VASTLY, vastly preferential taxation in Poland - 12% flat revenue tax + health insurance), some insist on employer of record (effective tax nearing 30% + you have to pay for retirement you are never getting).

There is also a fair number of people who can't read an analog clock...

talk about a useless skill these days. That said I have 4 analog clocks on the wall as decorations for Austin, NYC, London, and Tokyo like the old newsrooms. Yes they are all set to the atomic standard via RF

Big fish in a small pond.

To make it unattractive to the current occupier.

Aren't companies just going to ban the entirity of Ukraine, due to it being easier than finding out if your clients are connected to Russia or in a Russia-controlled area, resulting in an outcome undesired by the Ukrainian gov?

My understanding is that the occupied areas of Ukraine generally have Russian telcos come and take over, so it would be as simple as blocking Russia the majority of the time.

At this point finding a unit and someone to install it might not happen until 2024 in some places.
