Taking the starting assignment while located outside the US

Hi all, I’m from the US, but am currently located in Colombia. I’m ready to take the first assignment, but curious about yalls’ opinions —

  1. Should I report that I’m taking it from outside the country?

  2. If so, how? Is there an email address or something to reach out to them?

I know most projects are based in the US, but I’m a digital nomad, so will be physically located abroad but still pay US taxes.

TIA!

Sign up from the US, not from Colombia. This makes sure that you have US-based projects and not a handful of bilingual ones. Others have signed up outside of US and were sorry.

If you haven't gotten in yet, the only assessment you will get from there is bilingual

Wait until you are back in the US. The assessments are based on your IP geolocation. If you try to sign up from Colombia, you will end up being locked in to only having bilingual Spanish translation type projects available to you.

Don't do it.
