I would look for remote-first/remote-only companies. They surely would love to meet a great product manager who understands how remote work goes.

Also, being only 2.5 hours from the bay area doesn't sound bad. Why not look for on-site gigs and commute a few days and push to work remotely a few days as well. If you're convincing enough to hire, you will find some gigs that allow their product manager to work a flexible schedule and remote sometimes/up to half the time. Anecdotal but I've seen product managers at several FAANGS do this, and even more often at startups. Good luck!

Thanks, it’s a great point and I think I just didn’t feel comfortable asking frankly. What are the typical arrangements? Hotels expensed?

do you think a series A/B firm would be open to this?

Unless traveling more than 2 hours away, or maybe if you are a high profile hire, you would be on your own for lodging. I meant to commute in up to 2 hours to SF for the days you are there (2-4 days a week) and telecommute the others. If you are good, you can get this arrangement and it might be worth it to you.

Any kind of company would be open to it. Good people are hard to find and a day or 2 a week telecommuting is extremely common in tech, even in product management or other high touch positions. I've seen and heard of it in startups as well as FAANG.
