Should I bring up future transfer plans in my interviews?
I’m currently living outside of the states and would like to go back in the near future. As a non-citizen, I would need a visa. In my current city, I’m interviewing with a company I really like and would like to transfer within this company to their U.S. headquarter on a L1 in one year or so. Question is should I bring this up in my interview process? If yes, before or after the offer? My concern is talking about this doesn’t do me good - they could back off from the interview, or even they say yes, company policy or immigration policy could still change. I’m not sure if I should “show my cards” to a direct manager I’ve never worked with either. My friends say just get in first and after a year directly apply internally for jobs in the states or connect with a team there. As long as a team wants you there. Pros and cons?
It’s not relevant today. It does nothing to help you and may hurt your chances.
Don't bring this up during the interview. Why would a hiring manager hire a flight risk ?
No one would guarantee you a transfer. L1 is getting harder. So do not take a role just with an assumption you can transfer. You can be easily stuck for a couple of years. So pretty much you are telling that you are not really interested in a job or a role but just get a foot in and leave within a year.
Don’t, this won’t help you get hired
I second this. They’re not likely to hire someone who desires to leave. The hiring process typically is a pain in the ass and this is setting them up to have to do it all over again in the near future.
