I have 2 special needs kids and was thinking of how much more money I need to make or save (ex: more medical coverage). What do you think I should negotiate in my next performance review? I’ve been able to negotiate remote/work arrangements. Any ideas I might’ve forgotten? Thanks

PTO? Paid Membership for a professional development program? Guaranteed minimum bonus payout?

like

Guaranteed payouts are more common for the first year someone joins an organization. If they are hired mid-year, it can be beneficial to negotiate for a lump sum minimum as opposed to the calculated prorated payout.

More common for higher-level roles, but I have seen seasoned individual contributors negotiate for it recently.

First I’d really look into everything the company offers. I’ve had times where I wasn’t taking advantage of everything because I just didn’t know about the extras. Some additional things you might consider are extra healthcare benefits, something the company pays into more, additional family leave/ PTO, any stipends or extra accounts that could help with development, or any other services.

like

And I could say that should be true for everyone. All those things that a company offers are a part of your compensation. I’m at a point where I’m very serious about getting everything I can. Hope you find something and wishing your next negotiation goes great!

I’d look at negotiating for a dependent care FSA if it’s not maxed, enhanced health benefits, or even a healthcare stipend. Also consider asking for a retention bonus or equity if applicable. Flexibility is important, but financial support matters just as much with added responsibilities.

Very rare to negotiate an ERISA benefit like that. The employer usually has to make the same treatment available to everyone at that point.

Maybe as an alternative they could discuss the possibility of their company adding 529A plans if not already in their plan? It is an incredibly powerful opportunity. Strongly encourage exploring.

Salary is based on the value a person brings to the company, not the personal needs of the employee. Cost of childcare is not a valid bargaining chip for any parent.

Is there any flex in health plan offerings?

I left my job without having anything else lined up otherwise I would have had a mental breakdown. I’m not even in that great of a financial place, but it was my job or my sanity. I know at least three other people who, in the past few months, have left with nothing lined up. I feel like it’s something we need to be talking more about. This isn’t normal for people to be doing this right?

It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
