I’m much less likely to take a risk to leave to find something new.

For sure, I'm glad I still have a job and not feeling desperate to leave this one while the job market is slow

I was laid off in late March 2026 when the small company I’d been with for 6 years unexpectedly lost their largest client. Two other employees were also laid off. It’s a tough decision for my employers to do. They treat everyone there as work family & are amazing. This is a very rural area and jobs for a 52 yr old whose XR certification has lapsed (after 2 yrs at the most recent job I stopped doing the CEUs needed to retain that XR certification). Own my home which is a blessing. But for the last 6-7 years my house & the job I enjoyed were the only things keeping me in this town. My family are all at least an hour from me & my BFF moved 2 states away because of better job & pay. I am the sole provider for myself & my pets. My Mom passed 24 yrs ago. My elderly Dad lives 75 mins away & has Vascular Dementia which is advancing quickly. Feels like I’m trapped in quicksand as I try to find a new job which will allow me to pay bills but will also allow me time to help care for my Dad. This situation has greatly exacerbated my diagnosed Depression.

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews. I called the HR after getting their point of contact mail and I asked if it's possible to switch. They said I'm already tagged to a project and that they'll check from their end if it can be done.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.
