One big upside I can think of would establishing a permanent residency in the country of your employer.<p>I&#x27;m currently working remote for a US based company, and was only able to stay in Ireland for three months on a 90-day visa. There&#x27;s also a 90 day limit every 180 for US Citizens in the Schengen zone (most EU states, minus UK+Ireland). This is actually a problem I&#x27;m actively looking to solve, since I&#x27;d like to spend more time there.<p>I&#x27;d imagine that working for an EU company would help when applying for various exemptions or longer stay visa.
