Question

"How do I get a full remote job, tell my employer exactly what all my plans are, and never get the offer rescinded and be forced to RTO?"

Answer

YOU DON'T! Read the VPN wiki, buy a travel router, tell no one your plans, and just GO!

The reason why 99% of employers will say no is tax and legal liabilities. Use your brain!

I asked HR during my onboarding process what their thoughts were on travel, just in general like working internationally during "extended vacations" to make sure there were no tax issues, just hypothetically. She said there was no problem there.

Just told my manager last week I was going to Buenos Aires and he couldn't have been more exited for me.

There are good companies with good people out there.

Take all this "be super secretive to your employer" advice with a grain of salt. If you feel that they will give you their full backing and support, tell them!

Also, sometimes the "Asking" is giving them an opportunity to say know, while just stating it they might not even think about it as being something that they might need to approve.
