I would use some wisdom from folks in this group.

The company that I’m attached to is moving to a hybrid work schedule.

However, I’m a main caregiver to my parents - both have health problems that require someone in the house throughout the day.

From a career perspective, is it better to try to get the accommodations to stay remote or should I just start looking for remote first roles?

I know my career probably will take a hit.

I am fully remote and have been since 2016. There are definitely still companies out there that are remote first. I would personally recommend looking while you request an exception or accommodation. Remote has not impacted my career negatively.

Agree with above, the tech industry is dominantly remote and my career has never taken a hit from being remote.

I agree with Gartner 1
