Better make sure you are being hired in to a project at a work location that you like before you accept the offer. Do not make the mistake of coming in as a general management consultant and then testing out the waters. If you don't find the right role in a certain period of time you will be coaxed to taking a position that is out of the way for you.

I would bring it up to the hiring manager. If you’re not being hired to work on a specific contract you generally have a lot of autonomy on project selection. Depending on your background, should be able to find something that works for you with a DC client site/option to work out of a DC office

It depends on the team.

If you're hired to a req for a specific project then it's not so much negotiating as making sure the project is in your desired location before you accept or even interview for the role.

I disagree about not coming in as a capability hire without a specific project lined up. I was hired that way and was allowed a lot of flexibility regarding my ultimate project. Ultimately it's true that eventually you're just going to have to be billable so if it's been a while and none of your desired projects come through, you will get pressure to find something a little bit further away, but some teams are great about working as hard as they can about making sure you're happy with your project so it's really about making sure you join a good team. Kind of hard to do from the outside but not impossible!

What would your reaction be if the company you applied to asked for you to get permission from your current firm before moving forward? The situation is the company you're applying to is a client of your current firm, and you've already gone through the interview process with the new company. Thoughts?

One of the company asked if i could join as early as in 1.5/2 months where I have 3 months NP and haven't put papers yet .. i asked one of my senior in my team about this who's already resigning...and she has told about this to the entire team 😶. I realise it's my mistake asking her :p
Now that I'm not hearing back from the company which I gave interview and my environment at current project is a mess atm...Should I just put papers or bear with it till I fine another one..??
