Depends on what benefits you're talking about. You typically can't negotiate healthcare benefits as they are what they are/cost. You can negotiate things like PTO time, sign on bonus, stock options/vesting time, home office stipend, wfh option, relocation assistance, gym memberships, cell phone allowance.

If health benefits are an issue I am happy to help.

I’ve heard people say it’s possible but I’m not entirely convinced. The only thing I can think of that would be negotiable is PTO and that’s a big maybe.

It's totally a thing but also an unsung hero in compensation package negotiations during interviews. Ask for what you want, they owe it to you.

I just started a new job 2 months ago, benefits and PTO don’t start until 90 days in so I still have a month before I can take off any time, and today found out my company doesn’t offer paid maternity leave.
I’m really struggling handling the symptoms and maintaining my full time job. Thinking about looking for a part time job to have more time to myself through the pregnancy since I won’t be getting a paid leave anyways, but lost on where to start looking. Any recommendations?

If I’m not eligible for FMLA, what would that leave situation look like? Not currently pregnant but husband and I are wanting to start trying soon, just don’t want to be in a situation where I can’t take maternity leave. TIA!
