The interview took more than 2 months from start till the end. I clearly told the recruiter in the beginning of the process that I wont be able to relocate to Seattle from the bay area. One of my friends introduced me to a recruiter, who after re-scheduling the call multiple times, finally called me. She disappeared again for a few weeks and after a few more reminders, got back to me saying she was completely swarmed (well, whos not?) I was finally invited to an onsite interview in Seattle. Interviews were Ok. After the onsite, the recruiter vanished again. After a few weeks came back, saying she was swarmed (again!) She asked me for the names of my core hires (mentioning this is the final step) - After this, she vanished yet again. Finally came back saying, yeah - its all good but unfortunately, this role will be in Seattle! Seriously? NOTE : DO NOT - I repeat, do not share any names or leads with these recruiters - they will poach them and hire them (thats what they did with my leads - I was naive and shouldnt have done that) BUT PLEASE DONT SHARE ANY LEADS!!
