4. What strategies can product designers employ to network and establish connections with American professionals in the product design industry, despite the geographical distance?
5. Are there any specific challenges or considerations related to time zone differences that product designers should be prepared to manage when working remotely for American companies from Europe?
6. How can product designers navigate potential legal and tax implications when working remotely for American companies while residing in Europe?
7. Are there any recommended resources or platforms that product designers can utilize to find remote job openings specifically tailored to their skill set and desired work arrangement?

These are all hyper-specific questions and you're not likely to get a good answer to any of them. While it's possible to work from Europe for an American company, the likelihood is that you're going to get a salary comparable to a European company. Most larger US companies that have the ability to hire in Europe will plan their compensation accordingly so you're not going to be getting a New York salary in London.

Ditto. My company has offices in US, and multiple EU countries. Salary (for the same position) is set according to your local payscale.
