I'm currently exploring a job opportunity with Wipro for an Advanced Process Control Engineer position. The role is a contract position, estimated to last over 12 months, and is listed as Texas/Remote. I had an interview with their leadership team, where they mentioned that travel would be required approximately once every 4 to 6 weeks, typically for just a week at a time. Most travel would occur from Monday to Wednesday. However, I have some reservations about their travel estimates. In my previous role with a different company, travel was extensive, often lasting for weeks or even months. That position was full-time with a manufacturing company, unlike Wipro, which operates as a resourcing company. Wipro is based in India, but they do have locations in the Central Time zone. I'm feeling skeptical since I've never worked in a contract role before and haven't come across any reviews about Wipro on Glassdoor. I'm curious if anyone else has had experiences working with Wipro or in similar contract roles.

I recently received an offer for a hybrid engineering position that requires me to be in the office three days a week. The job is located about five hours away from where I ultimately want to settle down, which is closer to my family. Currently, I work on-site in an engineering role about four hours from my desired city. The offer does include some relocation assistance, which is great, but I’m considering negotiating for a different arrangement. My plan is to propose that for the first year, I relocate to the job's city and work on-site as required. After that first year, I would like to transition to a schedule where I only need to be in the office two days a week. This would allow me to move closer to my family while still fulfilling my job requirements. The reason for this request is quite personal; my parents are aging and facing some medical issues, so being nearer to them is important to me. I believe that a two-day-per-week arrangement is feasible since I interviewed with another company during my job search that offered a similar schedule. I’m reaching out for advice from anyone who has experience negotiating hybrid work arrangements after receiving an offer. What concerns should I be aware of? Should I negotiate the two-day schedule after the first year or ask for the entire arrangement upfront? Is there anything I could offer to make my proposal more appealing? I’m also worried about the risk of jeopardizing the offer by making this request. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
