Last yr. Got an 8% raise. Negotiated and they gave me a 20%. Don't think it'll work this yr.

Nice!

Yes! My current position for the first time! When I was getting offered, I asked for the highest amount of the range and they accepted it!

Congrats! Did you provide any justification / how did you frame the salary request?

Med tech, started at 106k. I was promoted in 2025 and offered 126k and negotiated to 139k. Ended up being over 30 percent pay raise and i got a 15 percent annual bonus. Totalling 160k salary.I had an award winning year of deliverables to back it up.

A project that closed last month directly boosted my company’s revenue, so instead of just asking for a raise, I made a whole presentation with all the numbers that scaled and proved to them what the impact of my work was. It went really well , better than I'd imagined... and they're going to get back to me in a week. Fingers crossed.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
