No, of course not. No professional is going to work a graveyard shift as a matter of course just because his client is overseas. I work remotely for a U.S. Company and simply do my regular schedule regardless of what time that translates to over there.
I split my year between London and Paris time because, well, that's why we work remote in the first place, right? A couple months each winter might find me on a pleasant surfing beach that translates to 'Chicago time' or similar, so if you need to talk to me at four in the afternoon your time, that would be a good time to find me.
But again, no. I'm not going to check my email or respond to your Skype requests late an night. Just like I wouldn't expect them to answer their phone were I to call them at four in the morning.
That's the type of things that would make remote work attractive to me, but working at night would basically change everything.
And do you recommend other sites as alternative to them where these things don't happen? Or was it all via contacts.
Because this seems to be one of the top sites for remote software development work and they put this in their welcome page, so I wonder if your case is not the exception.
