I applied through a recruiting agency rather than directly to the company for a remote Senior UI Designer role based in Berlin. I live in Munich, so I specifically applied because the role was advertised as remote. During the first interview, I was told that I would need to travel to Berlin once a month, which already did not match the original expectations. Two days later, they changed the requirement again and said they were only looking for someone already living in Berlin for a hybrid setup. I was then rejected. The process felt unclear, inconsistent, and very disappointing.
