“Odd, how ‘work from anywhere’ really means ‘work from anywhere in the country.’”
It’s how countries, taxes, visas work. If you’re self-employed, trying to work from *any* country in the world: it’s LOTS of admin.
If you’re employed, it’s just as challenging for your employer.

It’s pretty much only the tech industry where we’re privileged enough to be able to work from almost anywhere.
This does not mean we can ignore national regulations. And countries impose heavy admin and tax burdens on employment, rarely ever optimizing for remote work cases.

There are more startups acting as ‘middlemen’ to employ people in different countries. @deel and @remote are examples.
But by nature these setups are limited (you’re employed though a middleman) and they do not shift liabilities for the company to follow all local regulations.

Also know that B2B contracts - a company employing another company (even if it’s a 1-person one) is straightforward, even across countries.
This is why hiring contractors abroad is much simpler - and preferred - over hiring *employees* in another country.
