I just turned down an offer because they switched the contract from remote to hybrid. 3 days in office at the very last second. They claimed it was a corporate mandate that came down during my final interview, but it felt like a total bait-and-switch. I’m seeing this happen more and more. Am I being too stubborn by holding out for 100% remote?

You 100% made the right call by walking away from a company that lies to you before you even start the job. Plenty of firms are still fully remote, so don't settle for a hybrid mandate that was clearly planned weeks before they told you.

I would have asked for more money and seen how that went. I feel like a lot of posts that are “remote,” but you have to be within X miles is planning similarly.

Agree they didn’t handle it well but I wouldn’t be too picky. I know very few people who are still 100% remote anymore so I guess it really depends on if you have a current job and how desperate you are to leave. I’m not saying full remote roles don’t exist but they are becoming more and more rare; and even if they are fully remote there may be location requirements they had for tax purposes which limits it further as well.

I applied to a lead project specialist role with Deloitte about a month ago and my app is still pending and waiting review. I’d asked an acquaintance for a referral prior to applying also. I tried to see if LinkedIn listed the recruiter for the role but don’t see any reference. Any recommendations for touching base? Did I get lost in the shuffle? I am a certified project manager with more than a decade of experience.

Hello all, hope all is well. The name is Emeka, a US Army Veteran (54 Bravo Chemical Battalion) and Computer Engineer.

I'm looking to add value both a potential job opportunity and to myself as a life long learner. I am looking for something remote favorably but hybrid is an option providing the site is in California or Vegas.

Thanks in advance for any referrals wherever it may lead, and all the best to your future endeavors.
