Just got a verbal offer rescinded

During initial HR call I stated that I thought the position would be in DC but I was open to NYC. I got an offer and when HR asked if NYC was still ok I said "l will update you tomorrow."

I scheduled a meeting for last Wednesday but it kept getting rescheduled until I had it today when they told me that they "no longer have headcount for me." Do you feel that trying to negotiate location caused my offer to get rescinded or were there likely internal issues?

The runner up was willing to go to NYC, and they decided to just take them is my guess

If you were initially open to NYC, why did you have to think about it later?

like

That’s definitely a possibility, especially if location was a sticking point and they were focused on NYC while you were hoping for DC. Sometimes companies have a strong preference for a specific location due to team dynamics, cost, or other logistical reasons, and even an indication of hesitation can raise concerns for them.

That kind of sucks

People saying one thing in the initial HR screen and then backpedaling without explanation is a big red flag to me. Makes me feel like the candidate was 'playing' us just to get to the next round.

I do my best to shoot straight with candidates. When they don't do the same, I lose interest.

They offered to have me do a whole other interview process with another team. But I have a final round on Friday that if I get, I am likely to take.

The runner-up said yes, and was likely located in NYC
