Thanks for the clarification. Big companies are usually able to hire contractors - i.e. not a regular employee within some country, but just an independent service provider. Companies just pay invoices. No [health] insurance, no [paid] vacations, no work-permit sponsorship needed, etc... It would be great if this is possible for Compose "department" as well.

Trust me, we haven't missed an easy workaround for this. Big companies also have processes for getting contractors in place, and in many cases it's harder than hiring someone on full time.

So what if I were, say, a US citizen living abroad? I am legally able to work in the US and in my home country, but of course since I'm not actually living in the US some companies might find that problematic. Do you?
