I'm a US citizen living overseas, want to move back home but would prefer to get a job there first. Is it possible to do almost all the interviews remotely? And after getting the job how long could I wait to start? (Gotta find a place to live etc). Looking for jobs in software, FAANG, consulting, that kinda thing.

Now is the best time in history lol. Almost all interviews are remote. Prob can stretch out a start date for a month if not longer. You’ll be fine broski.

Thanks! Very good to hear!

No it's not possible

I don’t know of anyone who has had to interview in person over the past year or more… you will be more than fine. I would just recommend getting a US number if you don’t have one already, oddly enough it makes recruiters feel like you are not that far away. Where are you based btw? I moved to Dubai after college.

🐠, need opinions/advice. Persistent recruiter asked me to consider having an exploratory convo with a company for a VP role even though I’m not looking to make a switch.
