I am trying to find jobs in Europe (preferably remote) that are open to hiring Americans. I know many companies seek residents and citizens of Europe first, but I know there has to be some companies that are open to seek Americans as well. With horror show going on in the US, I hope there are some European companies that are open to hiring Americans trying to escape it. For context, I am looking for jobs that deal with any of these sectors: customer support, privacy, IT&tech, and arts&humanities. If anyone knows of any companies or job portals that can help Americans find jobs in Europe, that would be greatly appreciated!
Companies tend to outsource jobs to cheaper countries, so unless you got some super special rare skills that can’t be found anywhere in Europe or you want to compete with Indians for a crap hotline job, I’m afraid you’'re out of luck. Also as far as I know (this might be outdated information though) as an US citizen you’re required to pay income tax in the US no matter where in there world you’re working, meaning you’d be paying income tax twice, in the EU and the US.
US citizens are required to file but, depending upon income, don’t need to pay anything. It does make contributing to US retirement vehicles a lot more difficult since many need to be contributions on taxable income. Citizens also need to be super careful about trying to use foreign retirement schemes like ISAs and the like because of PFIC rules.
