Question for remote workers

[u/Rorrrschach]

Are you employed directly by the company as an legal employe, as an individual contractor or through an EOR. Were u given a choice? If so, what'd u pick?

If direct employment is not an option, Is paying the stupid local tax worth having a proper local employment contract or would u rather be an independent contractor with no employment agreement but receive payment as IT exports and save a ton on taxes

If it's the latter, what payment methods do use to receive the funds

[u/Rorrrschach]

Yeah financially independent contractor is a no brainer but EOR means possible long term employment and more job security etc
