Been thinking about moving to Europe while continuing to work for US companies. But it may difficult to maintain full time status while in the EU. On the other hands, there are plenty of contract jobs I can take on then move to the EU. My biggest problems are:
1) how does one manage works hours in different timezones? Perhaps one can make arrangements?
2) tax: should I take my earning into a personal account in the US/EU? Or alternatively start a corp and do corp to corp without and only pay myself minimum amount?
3) tax: do I pay taxes in the US and in the EU? Do they go after my US corporate?I know those are difficult questions to answer but I want to put themnout there

I simply only apply to jobs where I work on my timezone. We have some meetings that end at 6PM locally.

Depends on your residency. And depends on the law of the country you end up residing in.

You'll maybe need a VISA on the new country were you reside. Easiest would be a working visa. The country may have an agreement with USA where they run a sql-query to find tax-evaders and join it with a table of residents.
You might be found out. The USA may come after you for taxes on revenue of I believe +$150K/year. The USA has some fancy global taxation.

As a US citizen, you still have to file taxes. But can save a bunch depending on your situation.

I'm curious are you an EU citizen already? If not I believe you would need a US company that has an EU entity which could supply you with Blue Card in order to work in the EU.
