I applied for a position that's hybrid (4 days wfh, 1 day in the office) as it came up on Indeed within my 25 mile search radius.
The place it stated was nearby (or so I thought!).
I have since gone to look again and half way down, it states the place so thought I'd have a look how long the drive would be...3 hours!
I can only assume the employer has set the location to the area I had thought it was (with the same name), hence why it is showing up on my search within 25 miles.
Obviously, a >7 hour weekly round trip would not be feasible so I will need to withdraw my application, which is so disappointing as it seems a really good job I am suitable for and I'm currently in a very toxic work environment I'm desperate to get away from!
My question is would you think I'd be unreasonable to ask them employer if there's scope for a fully remote role with occasional travel to their office as and when needed? I wouldn't mind the journey if it's once in a while and perhaps I could do an overnight stay then to make it a few hours each day. I feel I have nothing to lose and the worst is they can say no but I also don't know if it's too cheeky given that it's advertised as 4:1.
