I’m at second stage (out of potential 6 stage) interview for a huge tech company, great role annd step up and will mean at least a £10k wage increase.

But the company has just announced they’re switching from hybrid to full time in office starting from January which is hugely unappealing to me. Currently on a hybrid model which means either DH or I are both able to be at home every day of the week. My DC are older so no childcare as such but I just like catching up with them.

My current job also includes lots of meetings in LA (remotely) so being able to take later calls from home works for me and them. Current employer doesn’t seem to have any intention of making us go back into the office full time, they’re really flexible and I really like my team (for context they are another global company but not tech).

BUT a pay rise would be great, this is a really good opportunity and great company to have on my CV. Although I would obviously have to factor in commuting costs.

any advice would be much appreciated.

I'm sorry but I don't think there are any positives from what this company want you to do, you would be repeatedly jumping through hoops for a job that wouldn't offer you any flexibility. 5 days in the office, you would need to commute and spend money on petrol, you would have less time with your family and all for a pay rise that won't touch the sides after you take into account the additional petrol costs and tax deductions. Really sorry but my honest advice would be to give them a wide berth
