I have a few clients in the USA (North Carolina + Connecticut + Virginia (GMT-4), California (GMT-7) and one in the Philippines (GMT+8), but anyway communication isn’t hard at all. Most of my clients are just one or two hours away… | | |

I do, New Zealand, Australia and USA | | |
How about "Yes, and communication is easy"? | |

I would if asked, at the moment all my clients are based in Europe. I have occasionally applied on Proz for jobs based in the USA but never had any success. | | |

Most of my clients are in Europe, the furthest one is in Dubai. I know that one PM works from Brazil, but there is no problem at all. I've had a few one-time jobs for clients in USA and Canada, the communication wasn't exactly "hard" but very slow indeed. I got e-mails during the night, replied in the morning and then it took an entire day again until the next exchange. Not suitable for tight deadlines and/or complicated projects. | | |
Home country and source countries are one hour apart. Can’t see the need to work for anyone elsewhere. | | |

Most of my clients are either 1-2 hours ahead of me or 6-7 hours behind me. Now and then I'll have a client from further away, e.g. the US west coast or e.g. New Zealand or Hongkong, in which case there is usually a 1-day gap between each round of communication, which is fine if both parties are aware of this. | | |

I do and I'm willing to work with new ones as well. Technology has made communication a lot easier regardless of location/time zone. | | |
