Do companies like Uber, Google, Zillow, Lyft ( or any other company with major presence in Seattle and Bay area) entertain location preference for new grad Hires ? Preference is for Seattle Area compared to Bay Area. If anyone one have expereicne with it, at what stage in the recruitment, the question comes up ?
Talk to your recruiter
At ZG you're generally applying for a specific team from the start; it's uncommon to be hired and then placed into a team later. I would say both our Seattle and SF offices are great places to start/grow your career, it's up to you which opening/office you want to apply to.
Ok. In short, I should be looking at job openings in seattle ..right ?
Yep!
You should negotiate that BEFORE signing the offer
