Not that many people from EE work remotely for SV. The time difference (9 hours) is just too much, and you can make similar money ($120k-$150k) remotely working for european companies as well.

It works better from the US east coast where it's a 6 hour difference. We have a big European office and 9am or 10am ET meetings work fine.

I have to laugh at this as I’ve seen this happen a lot, timezones be damned.
I mean if you're really crazy about money, then sure. But really, contracts within EU pay similar money, and you don't have to become a vampire. The biggest downside is that contracts aren't always extended.
Working with India from the west coast: can we just fucking not? 11.5 or 12.5 hour difference, you're wrecking someone's day every time you have a meeting.
At least on the East coast it's about the same as EE vs West Coast. If you're a night owl on one end or an early bird on the other you can make it work.
