[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a hiring manager, I would be completely annoyed if we got to the end and then you asked me. [/quote]

Agreed. You would be labeled as a bit of a problem child from the offset. It says something negative about your character to waste people’s time, knowing you’d only accept a remote job but applying and interviewing for hybrid roles.

If you’re going to do that, then you need to make it clear from the very beginning that you only want to move forward in the process if the role can be considered for fully remote.[/quote]

Op here. I already explained that when I applied for the role, I was on board with moving to the new location (I mean, tentatively-I’d never been there before). The hiring process took a super long time on the company’s side.

I currently go in to an office 3 days a week, so I’m not opposed. My challenge is the cross country move for my family. It would have worked if the company hadn’t been so slow in their hiring process.

It sounds like your options are not taking the job at all now, because it doesn't work for your family - or at least raising the possibility of remote work and seeing what happens. I think you're right that when a hiring process goes on this long, they do run the risk that YOUR circumstances will have changed by the time they get around to actually filling the position. I can't see how it hurts to ask, anyway - the counterfactual is that you turn the job down without asking for this accommodation. Anyway for all you know THEIR workplace policies have changed since you started interviewing!

6 months is a long time!![/quote]
