Interviewing for a role at Google and was told by the recruiter that the team is requiring 3x a week in the office. I’m currently full time remote at Amazon and would need to keep it that way as I live over 2 hours away from the city.

Should I continue interviewing and hope for the best with negotiating with the actual hiring manager? Or is it a lost cause and not move forward to avoid wasting anyones time?

I would make it clear that would be a deal breaker before wasting anymore time interviewing. If the recruiter is saying that 3 days in the office that is either an office wide requirement or something the hiring manager requested.

Was this in the job description?

Everything is negotiable once you get the offer :). That being said they may not give you exactly what you want.

But potentially more money, pay for moving, etc if you’re willing to negotiate

Get the offer, show it to Amazon and see if they will match it to keep you.

In that case, I would probably look for job postings for positions closer to where you live or offer fully remote as well. I haven’t known companies to be lenient if they require in office time. If anything, 3x a week is probably a minimum and they would actually pressure you for more.

I doubt they’d make an exception for you since they’ve already made it clear this is the policy. It’s so dumb to require in-person work at this stage of the game anyways. I wouldn’t want to work for a company with a regressive mindset. Do you?
