Okay I am a full-time software manager with one of the major software consulting companies.
While I am stationed in Canada as a remote emp, I have been travelling as a digital nomad for quite a while, and it is working out okay with just a openvpn server at my home.
While a few of my friends told me someone working at f b is digital nomading, I am curious as to
How is it going for someone in FAANG doing this ..?
I have an offer from FAANG with 1.5X the salary but not sure what kind of employee tracking they use.
My current work laptop does not have GPS and location is only fetched from IP so I am looking okay.
Also, is anyone based in USA doing this?
Apparently it is easy to get I-94 (travel history) if employer has your passport number in US, but rather difficult in Canada since travel history is protected by privacy laws.
To conclude is Digital Nomading okay with Full-time+FAANG+Remote+Canada?
Why or why not?

Totally dependent on your org and on your manager. Sometimes they don't care, other times they turn a blind eye, other times it's a big deal. The trend is moving towards RTO so don't get your hopes up. I left a FAANG company specifically for that reason.
