I got an offer last week that’s slightly below target. I’m weighing whether to push for the money or ask for 2 days WFH. If I take the cash, half goes to taxes and the commute anyway. If I get the remote days, I save the out-of-pocket costs and the stress. Does it make sense to use remote work as a "currency" in negotiations, or should I always push for the highest salary first?

Why not do both? Who knows, they might surprise you. A lot of jobs are hybrid anyway and if they can accommodate it, they should. And you might get some more money out of it.

If it's strictly EITHER/OR, pick WFH. Less money wasted on taxes and commute. Personally if you can push for a better pay offer and still go WFH, You can have some cake and eat it too🤔

like

Just keep in mind that WFH could be pulled or altered at any time, so if you couldn’t live on the salary with no hybrid arrangements I’d be hesitant to accept the role even if they agreed.

WFH absolutely counts as currency. Just be clear and specific. Two fixed days are easier for them to approve than something vague like flexibility.

I normally start with salary and other perks as well. That way it’s all in one ask at one time so the recruiter only has to go back and forth once
