Do companies usually expect you to negotiate salary? Or do a lot of places just expect you to take their base offer with no room for discussion?

Most companies expect candidates to negotiate. Negotiating is a normal part of the process.

You can always position things in a nice and professional way.

I think most companies fully expect that candidate are going to negotiate. I think most leave a little room for negotiation personally. The worst they can say is no if you ask for more.

Okay cool, I think I’ll take this into my next negotiation.

The worst they can do is rescind the offer because you haven’t done your research at all. Fully dependent on the company, some are very strict in what they offer, and some have wiggle room.

Rescinding the offer can be pretty bad though, it’s a tough risk if you really like the job.

In my situation no you can't negotiate. Being a minority means you're likely not getting the job if you try. But I would still recommend it.

funny

That’s terrible! I guess it is dependent on who you are.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid?

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.
