Hi ladies, I received a job offer in a niche practice area that I really want to get back into. I’m ten years out and have a bit of a jumpy resume and I’ve been job hunting while employed since June. My last day at my most recent firm was last week and I’m trying not to have a huge gap on my resume. The salary would be the same and it is remote. However, the PTO in the offer letter is terrible. It says I will only get one week after one year of employment. How do I negotiate this, if at all?

Huge red flag as to that new firm.

I’m same year as you. I had a very similar situation recently where I only received my paid time off after a year as well, but it was two weeks. I told them I valued the opportunity to travel with my family and advised I had no upcoming trips in the next 6 months (I didn’t), but that being unable to utilize time off for a year was unfortunately a non-negotiable. They agreed to change the language. I’d ask for more time and the ability to utilize it sooner. Worst they say is no, best case you get what you want.

Just curious why did you leave your firm before accepting your offer at a new firm?

To your question, as the other associate said above, i’d ask for a longer PTO and the ability to utilize it sooner, while being appreciative of their offer and the opportunity.

Hello guys,
Today I had salary negotiation with
Capgemini , they are offering 15 lpa with 10% variable. I feel this is a bit low based on current market standards. I asked for 20 initially, but they are not willing to go beyond 15 without any counter offer. HR flat out rejected 20 saying business will not approve. what is the max they will give after providing counter offer? And if i join around November, when will i be eligible for next appraisal? They are offering c1 band.
