Navigating Down-leveled Rainforest Offer Uncertainty /u/hyshusky CSCQ protests reddit

Hi,

Interviewed back in late summer for an L5 position. Did really well on LP and most of the technical rounds, but had a bad performance on systems design and was verbally offered a down-leveled L4 offer.

After some back and forth, it turned out that it was no longer a possibility to fill a L4 spot as an industry hire.

I was recently was contacted by my original recruiter saying getting an official offer is now possible if the hiring manager is ok with filling an L5 position with a strong L4.

My issue now is that I’m solidly locked in to staying in Boston and it seems that most of these opportunities are in Seattle.

A bit unsure on what to do at this point. Since the recruiter contacted me I have been trying to check in every couple weeks or so to hear if they’ve found an interested hiring manager. I’m not sure if they normally recruit for the Boston office and I’m sure he has other positions he’s trying to fill that may be higher priority than my situation. Do I try to contact other recruiters/hiring managers specifically in Boston through LinkedIn? The offer should be good through the summer so there is some time and I don’t want to come off as pushy, but I’m still very interested and excited to work there and I don’t want to waste this opportunity.

Would appreciate any thoughts/advice! This is my first time dealing with a big tech company so maybe this is all standard and I just have to be patient?

Thanks!
