That seems like a very normal reason to pick a city. I would just be ready to explain why the office itself also fits.

Should I choose an office where my partner is relocating even if I have no local ties?
- Office Selection
My partner is moving to another city and I would genuinely prefer to be there, but I have never lived or worked in that office location. Is that enough of a reason to apply there?

I have several contacts in one office, but another office fits my industry interests and location preferences much better. Is the stronger network enough reason to choose the first office?

Mayank G.CoachChoose the office where you have the strongest credible fit, not simply the office where you collected the most contacts. Networking can support an application, but it should not override a materially better long-term fit.
My spouse may relocate after I apply. Can I change my office preference later?
- Office Selection
I'm applying now, but my spouse may get transferred to another city before interviews. If that happens, is it reasonable to ask recruiting to change my preferred office?

Mayank G.CoachYes. A genuine change in personal circumstances is a reasonable reason to revisit office preference.
Recruiter asked how flexible I am on office location before interviews. Can my answer affect my chances?
- Office Selection
A recruiter asked whether I'm flexible on office location before scheduling interviews. I do have a preferred city, but I could realistically move. I'm worried that sounding too flexible makes me look unfocused, while being too specific could hurt my chances.

Mayank G.CoachGive the recruiter an accurate answer. Office flexibility can affect where your application is considered, so this is not a question to game.
