I received a job offer for a company on Friday. I was not looking for another job, I’m okay with my current job but they found me. They are willing to pay more than what I’m making now, but their vacation benefits are not very good. 2 weeks after 90 days, very standard I guess. The dilemma is, they close the week between Christmas and new years and I don’t think they pay. Using my vacay means I am left with only a week of my own vacay. Is this something I should negotiate?

Absolutely. Typically additional vacation is easier to negotiate than base salary.

This is your chance to be ambitious in your negotiations because you literally have nothing to lose. Ask for the moon and if nothing else, you’ll land on a cloud.

Absolutely! I always tell them what I have and then I’m not willing to take a step back.

smart

Honestly if you’re good with your pay and happy where you’re at, I think vacation would be a deal breaker for me

like

Absolutely. I would also factor benefits cost, etc into the overall offer. Are you truly making more? If you are happy where you’re at, it may be worth it to stay.

Negotiate, especially if they found you it sounds like they really want you.

Yes.

Vacations are so important for sanity. I wouldn’t take it. But as someone else said. I’d ask for the moon and see where it lands.

During the good ol days of Covid my manager who’s wife is in HR said they agreed to ridiculous things like. My starting date needs to be in 2 months bc I’m going to France to visit my family for the summer. Take it or leave it. They needed someone badly enough to accept.

Also let the rest of us know know where you are leaving so we can appt for that job

I would! Always negotiating is a good idea imo

Every company I've worked for that has closed for the last week of the year pays. Why not ask instead of speculating.
