Hey guys, I currently connect to a VPN to acces...

Hey guys, I currently connect to a VPN to access work stuff. The VPN we use is a 3rd party (Big IP Client or something like that). My company allows people to go out of the country internationally if needed (not usually allowed) and we also have some offices internationally. I want to travel internationally but also work. I've already been doing it for some time. If it's a 3rd party VPN we use, does my company have the access to check those logs? They give us a list of countries we CANT go to so as long as you're not there, the VPN will work. How possible is it to connect to a VPN before connecting to the VPN? Is this a viable solution to be 100% safe?...

Is career coaching worth the money? As a self taught swe and 5 yoe, I understand I’m probably missing a lot of knowledge, best practices, wisdom regarding office politics, etc. Would you recommend career coaching to fill those gaps, or is it something learned as you grow and mature?...
Solution:
@blade Okay, to be fair (and to get the green check mark) career coaching is like having a person keep track of your goals and take an outsiders view of your situation in order to give you feedback and reduce second guessing. It also puts in a scheduled check on your performance, like a manager would, but with difference incentives. One advantage of a coach is they may have a stable of client in the same industry, if they specialize, so if you have questions that others have had, they can share what's worked and what hasn't worked. They can also share what trends they are currently seeing and could be a source of market intelligence....

For folks using WhatsApp to interact with VAs or say proxy interviewers, what phone number do you use to register w/ the service? Main phone starting out or a different one? Do you have multiple accounts depending on the context?...

Reposted:

Reposted: I work and live in X state at the moment for J1. I got a remote job that thinks I'm going to be in Y state for J2. Both are remote jobs. They both don't have reciprocity for tax purposes. But when I file for taxes, how will this work? State Tax X + State Tax Y + Fed Tax (doesn't matter where you live just based on income)?...

I want to go outside the USA but not

I want to go outside the USA but not allowed for my IP to be outside the states. What do I need besides a "pikvm"(idk wt this is yet but I'll google and figure it out) to achieve this. I have 2 laptops, a Mac and a windows for work. Extra: if I'm ever out and the laptops stay home and by chance powers off or anything like that, I can have someone boot them up, etc....

What are good ways to convince a 1099 to go C2C? Are there benefits for the company when hiring C2C vs 1099?
Solution:
In my experience, if a company is already willing to 1099, going C2C isn't much aof a change for them. They tend to just pay your LLC even with a DBA as "Your Name", but it's the same to them. They would just likely require you have liability insurance.

A good question to add to infoe: Is there any rational reason someone would ask if the job requires me to register with FINRA/ get a CRD#
Solution:
If you have to give financial investment advice, trade equities, deal with bonds, or of the sort, those will end up needing FINRA They will almost always explicitly mention it in the job description or in the interview so you wouldn't need to ask....
