Has anyone ever asked for additional PTO in lieu of a raise? (assuming the raise is a yearly, regularly scheduled one and not asking mid year) Is this something that will get you laughed out of a room?

Who allows you to actually take PTO? Or are you trying to save it up to get that “bonus” when you quit?

D1, I get to take my PTO, just have to schedule 9 months out usually. I also don’t work at any of the firms that are popular on here, I do implementations... maybe that’s what I need to be worried about getting laughed out of the room for 😂

I think as long as you ask respectfully and give a reasonable compromise, the ask should be fine. Some companies may not allow it since pto systems may be pretty rigid, but since it's a less known firm, I think it's worth a shot. I don't think any reasonable manager/director would laugh at that ask.

I asked something similar for a job offer before (increased pto starting out), they said no, but nothing bad came from the ask.

I'm guessing you dont have a utilization target OP? If not- then go for it. If you're a good enough negotiator and valuable enough of an asset, EVERYTHING in a contract is on the table.

Sorry MD, wrong figure... 150 is 100%

Hey all I have an opportunity to buy a vacation home as a private sale from my parents (they are buying a new house in that area and need to sell the old one), it is waterfront property in NH 10 minutes from Mt Sunappee.

Would it make more sense to rent out the property through a rental company that included insurance and cleaning or to put it on airbnb?

Hi ppl,
I heard that for hike, promotion input about performance is taken from TL and teammates and Lumos plays only a very minute role in it. Is this true?

Everytime I think about work and how I can't even make a strong case for myself for a promotion I get upset. I'm literally pissed that I'm past a year mark and have yet to learn anything new since month 2. I've researched and taught myself as much as I could but many things are "learn on the job" type skills and so nothing. And yes, I've constantly asked throughout this entire year yet nothing has happened only promises that its coming soon or I'll be included in upcoming xyz.

Hi All, I recently found that I was getting paid 10% lower(in base salary but all other things being equal) than another APM on the team. I found that I’m in fact the lowest paid on an all male APM team. Do y’all have suggestions on what I should be doing to build my case for a raise? How do I go about eliminating that this may not be some sort of discrimination but we’re getting paid based on merit?

How long is too long to wait for a raise? I've been waiting seven years and have had 2 title (and responsibility) promotions since the last raise. My manager says I deserve it and am long overdue. The CEO says we "can't afford it" and that "there are things that matter more than money." That's easy for someone not living paycheck to paycheck (during an inflation crisis) to say. I don't know what to do. How long is normal to wait? Especially with an employee's market like this?

Hi ladies,
My manager is putting me up for promotion to senior level. I asked about what that means for compensation, he didn’t have an absolute answer but just said base salary will increase more than regular pay raise (hm.. okay it’s expected) but stock options won’t change. I have talked to a male senior peer before and learned that he makes about 20K more than me on base + almost double in equity. How would you suggest I utilize this information?
