I do the same. It's infinitely more difficult to find work, which is why I always try to be 150% employed. It's not about stealing secrets, or focus, or whatever, it's because it is foolish to put all of one's eggs in one basket, especially when it can take up to 6 months to find a good remote job from this timezone.
I don’t know what that would do with feeling no sympathy? It’s a pain to hire internationally. Not like a huge one, but for non-enterprise if really is a burden.
Weird way to express it. I work for a US company today, but so do lots of people from other countries. That doesn't mean I'm depriving an American of an opportunity.
Remote jobs that specify a country always seem to be US. Everywhere else has a timezone range where you're expected to work. So if as an American you'd like to work in remote GMT+/-3, you go for it.
