The Stack Overflow Jobs widget is showing jobs in a different city (Sydney) to the one I'm staying in (Melbourne). I've checked that my profile information lists that I'm in Melbourne and even that there were listed jobs located in Melbourne.
While I've tagged this as a bug, I don't know for sure whether this is a bug and if it is something that can be reproduced easily, if at all.
Here's a screenshot of the questions screen with the widget and the job locations highlighted:
These are often due to a slightly outdated GeoIP database. I looked at what location your IP was resolving to, and it was finding New South Wales as the region with no city information. The "default" lat/lon for New South Wales is in Sydney, so that's why you were seeing primarily Sydney.
I updated it today, and... bad news. Not only does it still not have the correct region, or know what city you're in, but now it thinks you're in Queensland. So... I hope you're looking for jobs in Brisbane :(.
But seriously, I apologize for that undesired behavior. Respecting user location preferences has been in our backlog for a while, but keeps getting bumped for other experiments. The good news is that the experiment backlog is finally almost empty, so there's a good chance we'll get to it as soon as next week.
Meanwhile, I hope the weather is good in Brisbane!
But really, sorry again.
