I would wait until they are "sold" on your abilities and then negotiate exactly that. Remember, it's important to be honest before the relationship begins.
Bear in mind, just like you have your reasons - so does the company. Treat them exactly as you would expect them to treat you - professionally.
When the right time comes, explain your situation to the right person (this is important. Not each interviewer Is the right person for this) and negotiate a transition.
Just my 2p.
Ps. I have done this in the recent past.
So, if I understand, you'd apply for on-site and hy-brid roles, and if it gets to an offer situation, that's when you'd negotiate the remote needs?
Bite the bullet ya hermit
I'm a chronically ill person I went from 12 hour shifts in clinics to not being able to stand for more than an hour at a time. You never know someone's life. I had to go to sit down roles to remote as my illness got worse and have been 1 year out of work now. This person mentions else where they care for family, people dont just want remote for so many its a need. Remote working improved life balance and also improved work was seen.
stick to remote. don't even consider hybrid arrangements
Unfortunately your gunna have to prove yourself before they let you work from home. I would think at your first review if you have done well that working from home would be on the table. Definitely make sure to express that you would like to transition to working from home once you get the hang of the workload and what now, and then bust your ass to look impressive.
based on what I read - I would say that does fall into / under disability and you should be fine and ensure that you express that in the late rounds or during negotiation. As a hiring manager for developers, if a person needed an accomodation as long as it didn't impact work it was not an issue. I am in the similar boat, I have to take only remote stuff, I have to take care of my elderly disabled mom and if a company is like going to say oh well this or that , well they don't deserve an hour of my time.
Do you apply for hy-brid or remote positions though, or only those that specifically stated they are remote to begin with?
Try looking at flexjobs.com. You can filter for Remote-only jobs and there's generally a good number of jobs out there. I'm looking for the same myself.
I’ve been slowly looking since December and I’m seeing tons of remote roles…
Maybe alter your approach or change the keywords you’re filtering on or try a slightly different target company profile? I break things down into the vendor, channel, and enterprise. Based on that differentiation I slightly alter how I’m looking for openings.
I’m mostly looking at other field cto roles, pre-sales engineering style roles, director/manager level gigs in the enterprise, and architecture roles on the consultancy/channel.
Honestly though, if you are submitting applications blindly to random job postings you’re already at a disadvantage. I typically pick up the phone or hop on LinkedIn and setup calls with my contacts. I haven’t done a “real” interview since my first job out of college. Since them it’s all been referrals from friends around the industry.
Not sure if any of that helps…good luck in your search. I know it can be frustrating.
Can you try C2FO, data engineering roles ? It's remote.
Try data analytics jobs
Take the job then claim reasonable accomodation for a dissability.
Why can you only take remote roles
I had to move to help care for family members, and unfortunately I live in a part of the country that is not tech-heavy.
If you have a medical reason or justifiable need for accommodation, you may be able to play that card too.
Jobs that allow people to work remotely *some* of the time shouldn't discriminate if someone physically can't show up. I'm not even sure it's legal. (You may ask a lawyer...)
I see above that you are caring for family. Are you legally a care provider? (Usually takes some sort of certification process...)
"never in the office" is a signal of potential employment fraud. It could put the employer in legal jeapordy if they are employing a person in country A but that person lives in country B. make sure you have some obvious and clear proof that you live day-to-day in country A (e.g. credit card statement). And find a way to soften your requirement, like a monthly visit. btw for my team, IT has the largest in-office requirement because they have to handle the laptops.
have you looked on remote.co or flexjobs.com
I was hired as a hybrid. After training was over, they offered full-time remote work. I felt they were trying to get to know me and see if I could be trusted.
