      Job is listed as remote.

      During the interview they tell you it only requires 2 days a week in the office. You tell them you don’t have a car… they reply there are trains from where you live to where the office is located… you look it up and they’re right, it’s just a 2 hour commute each way. You start to think “8 hours a week, is like 1.5 hours a day for 5 days, could be worse…”. Then you realize their hiring process requires 3 more on-site interviews before even getting an offer.

      Got this with Anchorage, Alaska. How did they expect they could hoodwink somebody up to Anchorage?!

        Oh, our apologies, we’re in AK, you must have assumed we were in one of the other 7 Anchorages in the lower 48:

        Kentucky
        Louisiana
        Maryland
        Mississippi
        New Jersey
        Texas
        Utah
        

        We’ve never had this happen before, how strange.
