I am joining Google this summer but want to travel to home country for 4-5 weeks in December. Thinking of booking my flights now and ask, once I join, if I could do ‘Work from Anywhere’ for 2-3 weeks there, then use some PTOs around holiday season.

Is this pushing too much as a new hire?

Prior to Covid, would error on the side of yes, but with wellness being a factor, I would say no. Say you mentioned it to the recruiter during discussions and it’s a trip you have planned. Good luck.

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.

Currently going through the hiring process for a role in San Francisco. They told me the starting base was $110K, but this sounds like pennies in a city like San Francisco!

Not sure if it would make sense. Advice?
