Do you negotiate time off when interviewing for a new role? I didn’t realize that was a possibility until recently, but I like the idea of it, especially if the company won’t budge on a higher salary

I’ve never thought about doing that. Good idea

Some companies will budge on PTO others won't but I found out that some will negotiate the bonus percentage.

Great idea!! I’ll keep this in mind

That's definitely something worth exploring, but it may not work in a lot of cases. Some organizations have PTO specified in the employee handbook and they may be unwilling to exhibit any flex on that. Some people also try to negotiate on hybrid or remote work scenarios, again with varying results.

That’s what I was wondering about too—like how could they keep track of different amounts for hundreds of employees?

I’ve never negotiated time off myself, but I’ve heard of people doing it. I’m usually more focused on getting a higher base salary. If they won’t budge on that, the next best option is to ask for better benefits, like additional PTO.

My current company offered me 2 weeks and I told them I need 5 to match what I currently have. I got it. I would have also walked if they didn’t.

That’s amazing! Great negotiating. 2 weeks isn’t enough to do much of anything

I do sales for a major engineering firm. Focused on new business and exploring new markets. Last year I was in the top 50% for order intake, and first in number of projects won along with number of new customers. I think this is extraordinary given the effort it takes to win new business.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

Is anybody here a notary? And how much are you making from that? Is it a potential side-hustle?

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.
