Remote BDR at AssetWatch - US-Based Sales Role — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
Remote Status: AssetWatch is a remote-first company, and this BDR role is fully remote within the United States. The team is distributed across the US and Ontario, Canada, with collaboration required during core working hours — meaning this is not a fully async role. You'll need to be available during standard US business hours (likely ET or CT overlap), which limits flexibility for nomads in dramatically different time zones.
Timezone Constraints: Since the role involves high-volume outbound calling to US-based manufacturers, you'll need to be reachable during prospects' business hours — roughly 8am–6pm in US time zones. This makes the role most compatible with nomads based in North America, Mexico, Central America, or Colombia.
Salary vs. Nomad Cost of Living: The $73k–$80k base is compelling when paired with low-cost destinations:
- Medellín, Colombia: ~$1,500–$2,000/month comfortable living — this salary goes very far.
- Mexico City: ~$1,800–$2,500/month — timezone-friendly (CT) and excellent infrastructure.
- Lisbon, Portugal: Timezone gap (5–6 hrs ahead of ET) makes live calling difficult; not ideal.
Visa Consideration: As a US-only role (employment eligibility required), you'd need to maintain US residency or a valid work authorization. Short-term travel abroad on tourist visas is feasible during PTO, but working remotely from abroad long-term may conflict with employment terms. Clarify this with HR before relocating internationally.
