What’s the best way to ask if a job can be remote or at the very least hybrid? I live outside of a pretty major city, but I don’t want to have to commute every day. My current agency allows me to work remote, and I love the flexibility. But, I feel like it’s time to look elsewhere.

I would say ask if you can/what the policy is around it. Maybe provide data to back up your productivity during WFH to better your case. If they don’t budge, interview elsewhere and if you get an offer, come back to them with the offer and express you’d like to stay but want to be remote.
