Live Abroad and Keep Your Career: The Guide to International Teleworking (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781985131064)

Live abroad without sacrificing the security and benefits of your current career! It's possible if you become an international teleworker. Imagine working out of your home office during the day while being as close as you want to world-famous cities, historical sites, and stunning landscapes. Or perhaps you are from another country, found a good job in the United States, and now want to return to where you grew up to be closer to your family. Whatever your interest in living abroad, teleworking internationally enables you to stay on a career path you enjoy. The advantages to you and even your employer can be significant - so long as you know what you are getting into and avoid some of the potential traps along the way. If you find yourself dreaming about changing where you live but not what you do, this book will be your practical guide for turning your vision into a reality. It will help you to: 1. Decide if moving outside of the United States is something you really want to do. 2. Determine if doing your job remotely (i.e. teleworking) is feasible and a good fit for you. 3. Identify the questions you need to ask regarding taxes, social security, and other logistical implications of international teleworking. 4. Anticipate your management's perspective and the risks your company may be exposed to when you live abroad. 5. Develop your proposal for a telework agreement, and know what items you should be prepared to negotiate with your supervisor. 6. Implement key strategies toward becoming a successful international teleworker. The tax, social security, and other logistical considerations outlined in this book are specific to an American citizen employee working outside of the United States. However, the general questions to ask, the steps toward developing a proposal, the items to negotiate, and recommended teleworking strategies are applicable to almost anyone looking to move to a foreign country.
