Any tips for overseas job hunting and how do timezone hours work?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

I found my job on Reddit somehow, but there are plenty of overseas jobs on LinkedIn and the other major job exchanges. I work in a customer facing role so I look for jobs that need someone to handle customers in X timezones. For example, my company is based in Berlin but they wanted someone to manage the US customers.

NGL the timezone stuff is HARD at first. I am six hours behind almost all of my coworkers so I sometimes get completely excluded from discussions and meetings. I occasionally have to wake up early for things (4am product launch...) and there isn't the technical help available after noon my time, so I have had to develop my own troubleshooting and coding skills. And of course it can get lonely when there's no one else about.

But they fly me out to HQ every year and also offsites in Rome, Spain, and Portugal. So it's an alright tradeoff.
