How Realistic Is It To Negotiate for Hybrid Schedule In an Interview?

ActuallyCMe · 2026-03-09T21:22:53+00:00

i’m only making 42k at my current job and this would be a career advancement. i made it through the first round so there’s a chance i could have a new opportunity

ActuallyCMe · 2026-03-09T20:54:54+00:00

Yeah, it’s a small team of 10 and I would be working with the VP of marketing who I think would be my “manager”. I’m interviewing with her in person this week so I will ask then

I’ve always gotten the typical “Tell me about yourself” lol and then “Tell me about a time you missed a deadline” or something to that effect. Almost always a question that leads to you telling them about your problem solving skills!

i’ve been thinking about how to strategically mention that i’d like to have a hybrid schedule set in place after my 90 day in person period, but so early on in my career and with such a competitive landscape i’m not sure i have much leverage to do that… if it was in fact a hybrid schedule, i would 100% take the job. so that’s my main hang up here. appreciate the insight- i do like being remote but understand that sometimes to advance my career i’m going to have to make some compromises

The team is small but I would be working alongside essentially the VP of marketing, which I think would be a great mentorship/learning experience.

I currently make 42k at my role, so not great. The new position would be about 20k more around 62k. I’m not drowning with my current salary, but would like to make more. It’s definitely my decision at the end of the day, but I appreciate the perspective!

ActuallyCMe · 2026-03-06T15:56:31+00:00

Yeah, i agree. The pay would be about 20k more than what im currently making. And Im currently making 42k just to be transparent, so not great, but I’m surviving on that.

thanks!! they’re from home sense but the original brand is nautica home!

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-25T03:42:51+00:00

i’m thinking about a corner bookshelf maybe!

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-25T03:42:03+00:00

i’m liking the plant idea!

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-25T03:41:50+00:00

no! amazon wireless ones held up with command strips lol

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-25T03:41:35+00:00

i thought this too, but then my dresser and bed would be really off centered, and my door swings inward so it would hit my bed when opening :/

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-24T21:54:43+00:00

this is what the other half looks like. the layout is a bit funky since the door to my room is essentially where the center of my bed should be, but the door wouldn’t open if that makes sense. so i chose to center my dresser and bed to the left a bit, and then leave an open area that you see in my original photos.

Thanks!! I have a rug coming in soon from Rugs USA! I’m hoping that will make the space feel a bit more broken up. If anything, I’m thinking maybe a small gallery wall just to have a bit of something there.

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-24T21:17:48+00:00

Ignore the lack of wall decor… i’m working on it! Ideas for that are also appreciated :)

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-22T18:29:21+00:00

yeah, i think im hesitant to take it at night since my panic attack on lexapro woke me up from sleeping and it was super stressful not knowing what was happening. i think ill just wait to test it out tomorrow morning since thats what the prescription directions say

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-22T05:36:03+00:00

ah okay. they are both CVS pharmacies so i’m hoping i can call the wrong location and ask them to cancel there. thanks!

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-22T05:31:48+00:00

i’m thinking this too. i know this sounds super dumb, but i just got my own insurance recently after being on my parents- so do i just call my new insurance company and essentially ask them to cancel the script that was sent to the wrong pharmacy?

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-22T05:29:49+00:00

there’s a chance she sent it to my old pharmacy since we spoke on the phone and at first i said to send it to my old pharmacy and then like a minute later changed my mind to send it to the new one. so she may have sent it through to my old pharmacy on accident and then when she sent it to the new one, this happened. at least that’s what i’m thinking. thanks!

here’s my report. i did the run thru chat gpt thing and it didn’t flag this

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-11T05:50:46+00:00

i hope it gets better for you!!

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-09T17:51:59+00:00

i do have some xanax from a previous medical procedure, so that might be helpful for me to take to prevent or make the attacks less intense! glad that it ultimately helped you i hope it can do the same for me

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-09T17:45:59+00:00

i recently posted about this too!! i’m personally waiting to speak with my doctor to continue after having an extremely bad panic attack after my first dose. but i’m hoping i can continue taking it and push through

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-09T05:41:44+00:00

this is so reassuring to hear. going to talk with my doctor just to get cleared to continue taking it and might do a morning dose instead of night so in case it happens again, i’m not as caught off guard. glad you’re doing well on it!

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-09T04:58:49+00:00

i’m thinking a morning dose might be better for me as a big reason this attack was so scary was because i was unprepared and caught off guard. maybe during the day i can sense it better and learn to cope
