[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DO NOT ASK. That is a POST offer question. [/quote]
NP here.  What questions are ok to ask once the offer is made?  Is asking about teleworking 2 days a week reasonable?  Curious if that's a red flag for a supervisor to have a potential new employee asking this off the bat.  (sorry to digress OP)[/quote] I'm not PP, but I think your teleworking question post-offer is only a reasonable one if the situation is such that the employer is lucky to have you (as opposed to vice versa)  and you know you have equal or better options for full-time work.

No, it's reasonable regardless.  If an offer has been made, then the organization is obviously motivated to get the candidate to accept.  It's reasonable to ask this, but you have to be open to hearing the answer will be no.

I once asked about telework options because a job was a long commute, and I was told no dice.  But I was offered the ability to stagger my schedule (arrive and leave early) instead.[/quote]
