Has anyone recently gotten a verbal offer, but then been told there’s a relocation requirement, particularly away from a high COLA area? This didn’t come up at all in prior conversations and I’m worried. Relocation is not an option for me, even if they pay me. Is there a possibility this is just a formality and I won’t have to commit to it in order to take the offer? FWIW everyone i’ve spoken to so far is remote and geographically all over the place.

I feel like it’s a red flag they did not bring that up in the beginning of the interview process. Relocating is not a small thing. Usually a company would want to know up front if you are able to relocate before proceeding with the interview process.

Tell them it wasn’t what was discussed. Period.

Seems vague and confusing tbh.

Can you ask them to clarify the reason more? Also if people you talk to are remote and geographically spread they may be grandfathered in to the allowance. Companies may have other preferences for newer employees.

Sounds like they’re not going to let you work remote…

1. Do you have any leverage?
2. Do you need this job?

If the answer to #2 is yes, then then the answer to #1 is no.

If you already have a job and don’t “need” this one, I’d ride it out further until you have an offer in hand, then approach the remote situation. You can always walk away.

I accepted a 95k systems engineer role in VA with KBR and is currently going thru a clearance.(MAY START DATE)
Northrop offers me 92k w/ 3k sign on which is 30 min from home in MD for an associate systems role. They also want to give me a clearance but it will start as an interim so I can work sooner than may. MY DILEMMA: Kbr states that they know I need money now so I can accept an offer with Northrop to see if I like it until may.BUT can I have 2 security clearances running at the same time?
