Quite realistic. Working for a small team, we are desperate to hire. I think the trick would be to look for a smaller employer in one if the US tech hub cities and then if they can work with you on the time difference, you should v ed pretty good.

My current company has interviewed 3 ppl in 6 months, lack of candidates. Someone good, but in the wrong timezone would be a compelling hire.

Where are you posting jobs? I am focused on small teams when I'm looking but most of the jobs I come up with are already over a hundred people.

You have to go the employer website or get lucky finding the listing on 'indeed' or something like that. Otherwise, you need to be contacted by the recruiter the company is working with, and the recruiter is unlikely to go beyond LinkedIn and other local talent. That is probably where the disconnect is.

Can you share the URL of the job ad?

With regret I cannot.

1. The position was actually recently filled. We likely will have another opening soon but the posting is not yet up (perhaps will be in a month or two).

2. It would be personally identifiable

Trying to even find examples of such job postings... I think there is a market fit for a new job search website, it should be far, far easier to find these kinds of jobs postings. I'm not sure how a person can find these things without a recruiter contacting them.

I created a burner email address:

Feel free to email me, I would be happy to refer someone. The pay would be somewhere in the $140-$170k range. It is a good company, tiny team working in biotech and oncology. Feel free to email me and I can share details.
