If you aren't working in MTV or NYC, can you choose or request which one of the two you go to for noogler orientation?

If not, or this is something to bring up during contract negotiation, I'd rather know now. It's dumb, but going to MTV instead of NYC when I'll be at the Cambridge office is very important to me

    Talk to your recruiter and your manager. Some teams always send new hires to one or the other. For instance, if your team collaborates a lot with a MTV or NYC team they may try to send you there so you can meet the people you’ll be working with.

  • If I may ask, why is that so important?

      OP
      I really want to see google campus in MTV, I feel like I'd end up there eventually (I like Boston for now but don't intend to stay more than a few more years), so why not get a taste of it now. Plus, I know a lot of people in the bay area and at the Google offices there. Whereas the only person I know in NYC is my ex. And I don't really have the time off to go to California any time soon, so this is the only way I'd be able to go there.

      It's dumb, I am fully aware, but it's what I want

    This shouldn't be an issue, as long as you can communicate your reasons. There were Cambridge folks in my MTV orientation.

    Just tell your recruiter where you want to go
