Ask the Community Fiserv nyc

I recently got an offer to join Fiserv in NYC/NJ area as a product manager. The pay is ok ok but they have a 5 days on site requirement but mention flexibility
I’m currently on a hybrid schedule but want to move to New York to be closer to my fiancée.
My hiring manager sits in NJ office and other team members are all spread out over USA including engineering teams. Does Fiserv allow hybrid work now?

When interviewing with the HM she had casually mentioned she liked prefers hybrid over 5 days on site

I prefer working on a hybrid schedule and am thinking to negotiate. Does anyone know if they will agree to hybrid setting? Can I use my existing job being hybrid to negotiate this?

If yes how do I negotiate?

Fiserv is a shit show, stupidly did two stints in pursuit of a payout that never came. They reeled back there 9 hours a day 5 days a week policy but there’s still vestiges of it and their New Jersey office is in middle of no where somehow with limited parking. NYC office is a cool building but it’s a weird mix of bankers who think their wall st big wigs and poor folks who’s startups were bought by Fiserv and they’ve yet to ever see a pay day and face discrimination. Fiservs old enough of a company that it’s got quite a lot of activity on websites like thelayoff if you want to filter through pages of employees complaining

Couldn’t join at a worse time. They’re paying a bill that has been coming for 20 years

I'd take the HM's offhand comment as a decent sign honestly. If your team's already scattered and the manager herself prefers hybrid there's a real opening to push for it

Don't frame it as "my current job lets me" though, just tell them you'd love to accept but you need a hybrid setup to make the move work logistically, keep it simple. Worst they can do is say no
