Not necessarily true. I know a company with 80k employees that offered to match my current PTO bank vs what their entry level amount was.

I negotiated 4 weeks of PTO at a Fortune 25 for a senior role that normally gets 4 weeks PTO for tenure. They ended up giving me 5 weeks due to the way they accrue PTO hours. However, I also sacrificed and accepted a lower than my desired base.

Be willing to accept other parts of the total benefits package.

I would agree. The only thing I have seen is a faster accrual of PTO, but this is an area many companies do not want to, or cannot (based on state laws) touch.

It feels like the best you can do is find a company with unlimited PTO.

Thanks all! Really just curious, in so many negotiations people remind you to leverage vacation days as well but I've never heard of a success story.

I just received this email by a recruiter:

"One thing I want to run by you again is the salary range. I asked you about it when we spoke and you mentioned a range. I would say that we would be able to offer a salary more in the lower part of that range, so I just want to make sure it is still relevant for you? We think l that you would have exciting development possibilities with us"

the lower part of that range, is acceptable, but low for market in the area. Should i ask about benefits?
