Copy answer link   Report answer Request a transfer first if the new location is within the employer’s approved footprint; an exception is usually weaker because it asks them to ignore a policy they may be enforcing consistently. Start applying elsewhere if they cannot offer a concrete path, with the caveat that relocation rules may be driven by tax or legal constraints rather than preference.

Copy answer link   Report answer Remote flexibility sounds valuable, but a written policy basis is more useful - ask, “Which location requirements prevent remote approval?” before choosing transfer or exit.
