Please, I’m just genuinely curious.
But I’ll like to help anyone wanting to answer by categorizing the reasons into like 4: You can choose any, or come up with your own reasons.
- You believe remote work is just a trend, and will die soon
- You think it’s just a bubble waiting to burst
- You think remote work will never be successful
- You believe remote work is still in its infancy/ (it’s early) and you don’t want to jump on the train just yet
- You’re just uncertain about the whole remote work thing
I’m thinking of using your reasons to work on a bigger content (ebook) for my long piece here.
I’ve been remote as a solopreneur for over a decade. I have been building my company for the last 3 years and am hiring exclusively remote. I see no reason to pay for an office, and would rather source world-wide talent. We have team members in US/CAN/UK and in India, Phillippens, and Indonesia. Some company models require in-person working. Mine does not.
Have you found difficulty in complying with tax laws when hiring outside the US?
Nope. My CPA/accounting team takes care of it all.
