Can I work remotely from anywhere if my team is in San Francisco?

Yes for async-friendly teams. For sync-heavy roles, stay within 8h of SF: Hawaii, Mexico (Mexico City overlaps PT 9am-5pm with 3-hr delay), Latin America. EU/Asia is feasible if you flex hours.

What is the 4-hour overlap rule?

Most remote-friendly teams require 4 hours of working-hour overlap with the core team. Plan your base accordingly. Async-only teams have no such requirement.
