Friendly reminder to negotiate your PTO!

Go ahead and ask for that additional week of PTO.

It's something my companies have always said yes to, with no hesitation. Plus your PTO most likely won't change until you get those tenure increases (5 years, 10 years...) so DO IT. The worst thing they can say is that it's against company policy to change PTO policy for 1 person.

Is it really all that flexible? What is the recommended response when a company inevitably says “we have a standard PTO policy for all staff that increases with tenure at the firm, but is otherwise set and cannot be altered”

Worth finding out. Depends on the company, of course. I have found that larger enterprises can't be as flexible.

Response:
"I understand, I can make X PTO days work. Thank you"

I negotiated 3 weeks PTO at a Fortune 25 and they ended up giving me 4 weeks because of how their PTO tiers work.

Notice Period question please. After being in the same company for 8yrs & experiencing burnout in the last 2 years, I’d like to make sure I take a month’s break before jumping into my next role. Esp as I havent taken more than 2 days off at a time this year (max. 3 times/Long weekends).

What’s the best way to go about it? Should I give my exact notice period & negotiate start date, or share my notice period with a “buffer”?

Thanks for any tips and insights!

I want to counter the offer but I want to make sure I'm not going so high that they balk and walk away. Knowing that others have gotten $145k and a $15k bonus, how high would be too high in a counter offer? Is $150k too much to ask?
