I’m sorry i have to say this, but why would you waste their time and your time if you don’t want to move there? Would you trust someone to work from home if you have never met them? What if it was your business? And how do you think it will affect your chances of moving upwards if you are never there? Out of sight, out of mind comes to mind. I would politely decline and say circumstances changed so you can’t move instead of wasting everyone’s time

A casual call. I like that environment as I usually do better when it’s a bit more casual. Be yourself, answer questions honestly, have researched the Company a bit, and see if you can develop a rapport with the person. My guess is they will talk more than you, but just a guess. You’ll do great!

Definitely have a few questions prepared such as upward mobility, mentoring (for you and opportunity for you to mentor someone), company’s long term plans (5 years, 10 years), short term plans, etc

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions.

Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?

Reorgs are just a part of the corporate world. If you haven’t been a part of one in your career yet, then you most likely haven’t been in the corporate workforce for very long. If you have been a part of a reorg, however, how do you personally approach it? There are many factors at play, but in general do you try to establish relationships with the individuals you know will be key contributors and/or decision makers going forward? Or do you lay low and let what ever happens be/hope for the best?
