Ask anything about remote work
Real questions. Definitive answers. No fluff.
Can I work remotely from Portugal for a US company?
Yes, but it depends on your arrangement. As a contractor, you can work legally on a D7 visa or digital nomad visa. As an employee, the company needs an entity in Portugal or must use an Employer of Record (EOR) like Deel or Remote.com.
How much should a remote software engineer make?
Remote software engineers in 2026 earn $100K-$250K+ depending on experience and company. Entry-level: $60K-$90K. Mid-level: $100K-$150K. Senior: $150K-$250K+. US-based companies typically pay 20-40% more than location-adjusted rates.
How do I spot a remote job scam?
Red flags: upfront payments, vague job descriptions, Gmail addresses for 'companies', interviews only via chat, too-good-to-be-true salaries, and pressure to start immediately. Always verify the company exists on LinkedIn and their official website.
Should I use an EOR or work as a contractor?
EOR gives you employee benefits, tax withholding, and legal protections but lower take-home pay. Contractor means 25-40% higher gross income but you handle taxes, insurance, and have less job security. Choose EOR for stability, contractor for flexibility.
