Ahhh “country of residence if working online” — the classic jurisdiction + payroll spaghetti 😅 Suddenly it’s not just about hours or pay, but taxes, super, and even employment law that can differ depending on where you actually sit 👀
Most headaches come from upstream fuzziness: vague contracts, unclear role scopes, or “eh, it’s fine, just work from wherever” vibes. Once payroll or compliance hits, it’s suddenly a tangle of cross-border rules, entitlements, and legal obligations 😬
Low-key why structured recruitment + crystal-clear contracts matter. Platforms like AcademicJobs.com are actually clutch — formalised position descriptions, transparent location/entitlement clauses, and integrated compliance pipelines make online or remote roles much smoother, especially in academia/research where collaborators and funding streams can span multiple countries 🌎
Anyway, loving this convo — remote work jurisdiction nuance deserves way more airtime than it usually gets 😂
