Well first, get the job lol. Don't start all of this planning in your mind until it's secured.

Secondly, if you have to relocate within 60 days, surely they would pay you the relocation sum within the first few paychecks, allowing you to move.

You are missing that presence is required from Day 1.

OP: It's hard without money.....you'll need a place to crash...airbnb, short-term rental, or hotel. Be forwarned...you'll need a lot of money down on an apartment. Might look for a roommate sublet to start??

Huh? No, OP did not say that: >Recruiter said new hires must be able to relocate within 60 days of start date

Said,also that they assume start date is in person. If it's work at the office, how do you start if you are out of town for 2 months?

Yes those two statements are conflicting, but the second wasn't said by the recruiter. So I'm going off their statement, which I take to mean OP would just need to move up and start going to the office within 60 days of starting.

Haha I know being VERY optimistic here. Just wondering if it’s worth the hassle when logistically thinking about the move.

Honestly just talk to them if/when you do receive an offer about relocation options, possibly see if you can sublease your current apartment, etc. Also work as much as you can on whatever is dragging your credit down so much.

But the other side of the coin is that poverty and poor credit can be a self defeating cycle, and many people cannot just up and move even for the opportunity of a lifetime in a situation like yours.
