If you negotiate salary, can you also negotiate other aspects together like extra PTO, number of days required to be in office (for hybrid positions), etc.? Or is there usually only one aspect of the package that you can negotiate?

Negotiate EVERYTHING

like

Yes, you can always negotiate everything. Some companies tell you at the offer that they are not open to negotiating, but I would say always do because I have had companies change their mind after I asked about it. Just do it with numbers, proof, and humility.

Listen to A1. There is no rule on negotiations. Some companies will be willing to negotiate PTO or remote arrangements, others won't. You'll never know unless you ask.

Understand the meaning of the word negotiate. You can ask for anything, more money, more PTO, more flexibility, your own private toilet, an M&M dispenser, free gym membership......

But know that negotiation isn't about you asking for something and the company just rolling over and saying yes. If you don't ask, the answer is no. However, if you do ask, the answer may also be no and you need to be honest with yourself about where your walkaway point is. If you truly NEED something, ask for it, and if the company says no, that just means it's not the right opportunity for you. It doesn't mean the company is bad.

Here's an example: my employer has a strict 3 day per week in-office policy. A candidate recently stated that they couldn't accommodate that. We parted ways, plain and simple. I'll now find a candidate who is aligned to our role, and that candidate will find a role that better aligns to their needs. Not a bad candidate. Not a bad company. Just not the right alignment.

People far too often take a no in negotiation personally but that's just not the case. This is just business. Not every company and every candidate are going to be the right fit.

You can try to negotiate just about anything. You'll win some, you'll lose some.

For sure - it might be more vacation, might be more equity, bigger bonus, stock options, earlier salary review (if they can't give you what you want now), wfh friday's - Just think about what's fair and keep it fact oriented rather than emotionally driven.

Negotiate everything!!

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
