I'm been interviewing with Visa for a few months originally to be in their DC office (confirmed location during HR screen)

The process slowed down for 6 weeks but today HR finally emailed me confirming that I'm moving forward to the Super Day in December only thing is the office is for Atlanta not DC

I don't want to relocate but Visa is a dream company for me. Should I ask if the location is final now? Or should I try to secure the offer to get more leverage on location?

You need some leverage, and you won’t have much without an offer in hand. Some companies won’t mind as long as you’re near one of their hubs, so you should wait for the offer in writing, then act confused about the location and state your preference.

So I should negotiate after the written offer and not the verbal offer correct?

Also how do you say I should go about confused as HR told me over email that location would be in Atlanta lol.

Visa is pretty flexible about locations - for some offices. Both Atlanta and DC should be fine (IMO). I would just move forward but I don’t think it will hurt your chances if you ask now

It's actually for the Ashburn not DC office but they're close to each other.

I would probably try to secure the offer first. This is a really tough job market and if they are your dream company, I wouldn't want to risk it before getting an offer. Best of luck to you.

It seems odd that the location would change so dramatically. I mean, it's not like downtown versus the suburbs, that's hundreds of miles. If you're motivated to join the company definitely follow through on it, but definitely try to get some clarity about the location. Let them know your preference, that may influence where you go.
