Discussion: comparing base and bonus numbers at any level feels like a lack of imagination. Why don't people ask for truly differentiated things? Ie. I want to have 5 extra PTO days, I need a car, pay my healthcare, etc.

Some companies are not flexible in PTO or other managed benefits. Base, bonus, and equity, and sign on bonuses are what I see.

One of my managers way back in the day at a midsize firm negotiated an increase in PTO upon her promo to SM in lieu of a raise.

Besides that firm, every firm I've worked for in the past 15+ years has offered no flexibility in benefits, at least at sub-SM levels.

The question I often has is which came first: rigid pay structure or lack of imagination for demands?

How did we align that this is the only way we want to be compensated?

I actually did look to negotiate my PTO when joining BCG. Turns out, most forms of compensation are rigid, at least in firms that have standardized pay.

Because that’s what matters. I think lack of imagination came first

As an example of today: what would your salary to remote work trade off be?

Because I can’t buy a jet ski with an extra day of PTO

Has anyone heard or experienced going on maternity leave, then leaving shortly after returning? I'm hearing from my husband's company if he takes pat leave, and leaves shortly after returning, he'd have to repay the wages paid while out on leave. Is this only for pat leave and the person who gives birth wouldn't have to pay back as it's technically disability pay? Trying to weigh my options as I want to get out of my company, but want the mat leave first.
