OCI offer from Seattle. Can I switch to Bellevue?

Got the offer from a team in Seattle. Can I switch to a team in Bellevue? Are the offers in OCI team-based? The reason is simply the commute (1 hour vs. 7 minutes)

I know, it's a huge downgrade from Amazon :( Read my other post.

Bellevue office are the late joiners to OCI (formerly Classic). You probably want to be in the Seattle offices...

What do you mean by late joiners? Why would I want to prefer a 1 hour commute over 7 minutes?

The core OCI teams, hired by OCI people, are in Seattle. The Bellevue offices were reorg’d in much later. It’s a very different culture.

Don’t catastrophize it. If you’re 7 minutes from downtown Bellevue you’re not an hour from downtown Seattle unless you drive on a bad day at peak traffic.

3 days ago I was at a place close to OCI's office in Seattle. It took me 1 hour to get home. The traffic was just like any other day.
