Have you ever successfully negotiated non-salary ‘extras’ before accepting an offer? If so, what were they?

eg. extra PTO, home office upgrade, metrocard

I’ve negotiated extra pto, a salary/title review in 3-6 months (rather than a year), additional options grants (this was for a startup), and a higher annual bonus %. Not all for the same job

Negotiated when I’d be able to relocate for the job. said I have a lease and will move when it’s up, and need to make a plan with my partner to move cross country. They said typically they give three months but could be flexible

I was negotiating with two agencies at once and both salaries were solid. I did still negotiate and got things like my phone bill paid for, relocation package for future use when I want, title, fully remote, start date. All within reason and will help me do my job and perform better for the company, so keep that in mind. Will make it more of a selling point when the recruiter is asking on your behalf.

I negotiated extra PTO and a signing bonus. Used the fact that they aren't contributing to 401k until the "probationary" period is over as leverage for the bonus. Extra PTO was just something I needed to feel comfortable taking the job.
