Hi all, I am completely housebound due to ME/CFS. I can maybe go to the dentist once a year, but that's it. Due to a redundancy I'm also out of work and I don't know how to find a new job. I have several years of experience as software engineer - a job that can easily be done remotely, but so many employers ask upfront if I can commit to 2-3 days in the office. I feel like 99% of the job market is off limits because it's hybrid and applying to only 1% of jobs isn't enough. How do I navigate this situation? Should I lie in the recruiter screen? Many companies now also do face-to-face interviews so I need to tell them about reasonable adjustments before I even get to the offer stage. That being said I've only had 3 interviews so far out of 100 applications so maybe the gap in my CV is already working against me.
I'm so annoyed because I'm only physically affected and I could easily hold down a full-time job yet the hybrid set up is unintentionally ableist and I will be housebound for the foreseeable future.
