Recruiter: "Dave the Cxx is a great guy and will really like you."

..fast forward to the interview..

Recruiter: "Dave, it's nice to meet you."

It turns out Dave did like me, but he specifically asked for someone local and I had a 45 minute commute. At that point neither of us were sure why I was there.

In my world, a 45 minute commute is local (if not ideal)...

It wasn't a bad drive. This guy just really hated his 1hr drive at a previous company so assumed his employees would also hate it and not like the job.
