Got a HR call - the job required relocation. The recruiter asked me if anyone else will be moving with me if I choose to relocate. I said “Yes”. They asked who? I said my husband will be okay if we choose to relocate. The recruiter then asked if I have “kids” who will be relocating. I thought this question was not required and kind-off sounded like a barrier to move forward in interview . Is this common to ask who is relocating with you?

D1: Yes I am based out of the US

I don’t think so. Not until the offer is accepted and preparing to relocate

Seems weird to me. As others said maybe they asked because they were curious, or maybe they were trying to gauge how likely you are to be willing to relocate. Either way it seems inappropriate

Could be a way of gauging how much of a relocation package they would need to offer in order for you to move…

Appreciate the responses. The recruiter was really excited about my work experience and said I was a strong match. So if I do not get the call; then I am assuming the decision was made based on this input!!

Can anybody advise on this of they been through the same.

Over the last couple of months I’ve interviewed for a number of jobs and made it to second and third round interviews but never got an offer.

Ive got three interviews coming up and l am wondering how I can improve my chances of getting an offer. Any ideas are welcome. I need a new job like yesterday.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
