They are all smart businessmen saving the company a shi ton of money by seeing who is "interested". If you are junior and want to be based in Chicago don't fall for this. Let them displace you and pay for your move. If you're senior and want Chicago it might be too risky to not put in a bid because the forced displacement might not get to your number. I'm happy for my Chicago peeps that finally get to be based at home!
