Working remote for USA company and living abroad

Hi, I’m going thru a divorce now and I’m heavily contemplating leaving the USA and returning to my country due to the cost of living here (rent/food/expenses) I live in NYC area and my salary is not enough to fully pay my bills (like I’m barely meeting ends and slowly getting into CC debt).

I have a decent job as an executive assistant (level C) but is fully in person. I was thinking about getting a fully remote job and moving abroad with a USA salary while keeping an USA address for taxes/ payment/ whatever reasons. Like keep all my bank accounts, insurance, everything but me in this country.

Has anyone done that here? I read a lot of digital nomads working in the creative field (unfortunately not my field) Do companies need to know that you are physically outside of the USA while you are working for them? I’m willing to sacrifice salary to keep a USA currency that would open doors for a decent life in my home country

I’m young and I’ve only been in the admin field for about 2.5 years and I don’t think I have the qualifications for an upper management/ senior role so I’m trying to be very realistic, I just don’t want to leave here with nothing to land there (my home country)

If anyone has done that I would love to hear about your experience.
