[quote=Anonymous]They are checking your references, which means they are excited about you.  I would start the conversation now - if you wait until the offer, it looks like you are trying to bait-and-switch.

Reach out to the hiring manager, and let them know that your personal circumstances have changed since you started the process.  You're still very excited about the role, but relocating is going to be more difficult now than it was 6 months ago.  See if the hiring manager would be open to a hybrid arrangement with frequent travel for the near future.  Don't commit to a future move date, but don't take it off the table either - your wife's job has changed once, you have no idea what will happen next year.  Vaguely hint that you may have to withdraw your candidacy if this is not possible - if the hiring manager likes you, this will put him/her in panic mode to keep you, vs negotiating mode.

--Signed, hiring manager who hired someone located halfway across the country for a role that was originally designed as hybrid or fully on site, 4 months ago.[/quote]
