Anyone have experience negotiating a retention package?

I’m being offered a $200K retention award that vests annually over three years (~70% of base / ~40% of annual TC), tied to an upcoming leadership transition and potential org changes.

I’m genuinely appreciative, especially since I’ve already received a promotion and 2 additional comp increases over the past year. That said, is this something worth negotiating, and if so, what aspects did you focus on (amount, vesting, acceleration, etc.)

Definitely depends on the type of organization you work for (public, private, industry, etc.), but just from my own experience, LTIPs with a target and vesting period structured this way are often board-approved and standardized based on position level. That said, my experience isn't universal and it doesn't hurt to ask a question or two :)
