I am a dual US/Canadian citizen, living in Canada. I have been applying to US remote roles for the last two mos and I’m in 2 final loops. Both companies told me I can be remote but I MUST be in the US. My mom has a US address. I told the companies that I split my time between both countries and I have a US address. They said no dice. I have to move and are offering relocation. Our life is built here and we have kids who just started school. Do I push my fam to move, or lie and say I did??

I wouldnt lie about it. Would prob be terminated on the spot when they find out (they will).

Im going to go with option 3: find a remote role that lets you work from Canada.

Don't lie. You (and the company) will have all kinds of headaches with your taxes and will be fired whenever they inevitably figure it out.

Look for companies with a Canada presence that are okay with you spending time in the US.

💯 Uncomfortable choice in the short run but will save you lots of time and money in the long run

Lying is a terrible idea. Why did you apply and interview for a job that isn’t full remote? That’s the first things you ask during a recruiter call.

I didn’t want to lie, for the record. That’s why I was honest about living in Canada in the first place. Looks like we’ll see if we can extend the timeline for moving so my husband can transfer.

I went through a few interviews with the Deloitte Cybersecurity for a manager role. I've been in more senior roles at competing firms. Initially I said no thanks, but after the 4th call they made an initial offer at the top pay of the manager salary range and sent me a link to the application form. It's a 20% pay bump for me. So the question is should I take a demotion for 20% pay bump? Or counter with a lateral move? Is it even possible to negotiate a higher level after interviews are done?

Definitely not ready to go back to that….

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
