I found that smaller companies often offer more flexibility and a personal approach compared to larger corporations, which can be more rigid in their policies.
The key to making it work was clear communication and ensuring that my travel schedule didn’t impact my work deliverables. I also made sure to adjust to time zone differences for meetings and deadlines. Staying connected and demonstrating that my travel didn’t hinder my productivity was crucial.
For accommodation during my travels, I often used Rebookify to find good hotel deals, which helped manage living costs while working abroad. Overall, working for a small U.S. company while living abroad requires adaptability and communication but can be a very rewarding experience.
