Say that you live in country A. You apply to a job in company X in country B (connecting with a director through LinkedIn). 4/5 days after a recruiter talks to you for a position in company X but in country A. You strongly prefer country B over A, so you state clearly to HR that you're willing to be part of the process only if you can also interview in B.

You do not bring this up again and are in last round for X in country A. You have not heard back yet from B but prefer it. WWYD?

Why are you in the last round for country A when you only want to interview for country B? Also, you could have done without the company X notation since there is only one company.

Where does it say that I only want to interview for country B? It's still a great opportunity regardless of the country, only that I prefer B vs A because of international exposure, and because I like it better there.

I would only bring it up as a question regarding international projects/secondment in the future etc

To me it’s a done deal for country A

What I am concerned with is the what if... but i do not want to seem rude to the director in B who received my CV by sending a reminder nor unthankful to the team in A

I am in the final steps of the interview process for an in-house position. I mentioned to the recruiter that I had unvested equity I would be leaving on the table.

I have not yet received an offer. Is it typical for companies to ask for this documentation if they don't intend to make the candidate an offer?
