I got a recommendation to a role that I'd already done at RBC, but for a pillar. Over chat I asked the hiring manager (who I knew and knew my work) if there was any flexibility in the work from office component, as it would be a close to 2 hour commute for me, and it was a 1 year mat leave coverage.
I was told that it would depend on the candidate. So, I didn't bother putting myself forward. I wasn't going to waste my time.
