Tips on negotiating more days to wfh? Interviewing with a firm that is in 2 days a week and I want only 1 day a week. Commute is over an hour each way. However, I believe there's 1-2 attorneys at that office who also live in my city. Worried about the partners not going for this. It's a big firm but this specific location has 15 attorneys (only 4 associates).

State it plainly. A job interview is a place to see if you fit not bow to their needs.

Just say: the ideal schedule for me currently is 1 day in office instead of two and I’d like to know if you can make it work.
If this isn’t a job that requires in office work (lit) you’d be fine.

The key is to say it at the tail end of the interview, if you have discovered that you like them and they like you.

90% of negotiation is energy. state things as fact and believe that you deserve it.

True that. Thank you!

I don’t know why people interview for jobs that are so far away from where they live. What if the hybrid policy changes in the future?

That's a concern I have too. I was referred to the firm and it's a great firm the location just isn't ideal.

Full remote would be amazing but I'm ok with once a week. Probably easier to get that than fully remote

I’m in a similar position (worker’s comp). Do you think your firm’s hybrid policy might change?
