Heh something similar happened to me. Recruiter reached out, insisted role was on a special new team in SFO. I did the full interview cycle (on-site in Seattle, which I later learned is what they do if the role is in SEA..).

It was for an awesome team and org, really up and coming.

I get the congrats message that I’ll be getting an offer. Then find out it’s only for SEA. This is after the recruiter insisted it would be SFO because I didn’t want to relocate for various reasons.

Ah so that’s why they flew me to Seattle.. lol.

Ended up being passed around a few orgs recruiters and took a role in sfo that I finally left after 20 months. Sigh.

One of mine was similar. I got sold on a 100% remote role that turned into 9-5, 5 days a week in an office 350km away from where I live. I was really clear up front that relocation was not an option. I'm not sure if they ignored me, or just felt I'd be compelled to move.
