I could be just me or my niche, but I am really struggling finding roles that would accept part-time or remote working from day 1.
Every single contract over the past 4 or so years, I have managed to work remotely to some extent after some time.
The pain is at the beginning, it could be 3 months, or 6 months and is of course very disruptive to my private life.
In fact I would be very willing to take a cut from the day rate as long as the role offered flexible options from day 1, or at least day 10.
Has the HR, managers and agent not caught up to the idea yet?
I have, just in the past couple of week, declined all offers I have received, just because I don't want to move at the moment. At least some of them, could easily be done remotely, yet no one could be bothered to even discuss such an approach.
I also know that if I accepted the role as such I could then negotiate remote work afterwards, but it doesn't feel very clean - as you agree to certain conditions, which you then negotiate - I would much rather be more upfront about it.
It really sucks.
