Are any of you working remotely from out of the country?

I'd like to work remotely from Colombia. Why not?


If you answer, 'yes' - where do you want to go?


If you answer, 'no' - why not?


If you answer, 'already doing it' - where are you?

Do you want to work remotely from outside the US?

Our HR team caught onto it pretty quick and shut it down with threats of firing anyone caught due to labor, tax laws, etc. Would check in with them first since it's pretty easy to see where you are when you're joining calls from or your device management tools.

Pretty sure, as long as you're paying taxes, this isn't an issue. Why would your employer police where you are working? Starbucks vs The Marriot?

According to my CPA, it's not against labor or tax laws.ย

No, but it is an option - as long as you can make client meetings when necessary and handle the "hours of operation" based on time zones.

I don't think you can do that in my industry, but I wouldn't want to anyway.

My younger sister actually just graduated from law school and passed the bar this year! The whole time she was going through classes, exams, internships, etc. she would always tell me and my parents that she thought we could easily do what she was doing. Not to say that it wasn't hard work, but nothing that any of us couldn't do. I have toyed with the idea myself, and you make some very good points yourself! I think there are a lot or parallels between great lawyers and great salesmen. At the end of the day, lawyers have to sell either cases to a jury or their services to potential clients. While it is very intriguing, the idea of quitting a job that consistently pays my bills to go back to being a student, putting myself even further into debt, and making no money is a scary one. And personally for me, the idea of opening a textbook, studying, and taking exams again sounds AWFUL.
