Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Get it in the offer letter. If they genuinely mean that then part of your acceptance is the agreed upon term that within the 1 year period as discussed that you will receive the promotion. If they are unwilling to add that then caution is advised. If you are willing to take the risk with the fact you are currently unhappy then go for it.
Thisssss
No. Its a Red flag.
It gives you no incentive to perform well, since you believe you are owed a promotion and raise on day one.
it’s bad for your motivation.
Only take the job if you would be satisfied at your starting level indefinitely.

This happened to me. Managers will tell
You whatever you need to hear to get you in with as little as possible me.
I took the lower salary to find out a year later HR had a cap on how much your salary could be raised by for a new title, 10% or less …and that wasn’t even close to what I should have been making. The manages hands then where ‘tied’. Don’t accept it. I learned a hard lesson till I was able to find a new job.
Don’t do it. Once there, you are screwed. You never make fair market value inside a company or it will take years and years. Always go in at fair market rate and commiserate with your level and skills. Don’t under value yourself unless you are desperate financial and anything will do at that point.
Know your worth and wait for a company that recognises that and will reward it. Taking a lower salary is never a good idea. It can also hurt you finding another role they will wonder why you are paid so low.
This happened to me. I’m still waiting years later.
You should ask yourself, "would I take this offer without the promise of promotion when the budget was available?" If you wouldn't take it without the promise, you probably shouldn't take it now. In my history, I took two jobs with pay cuts. In both cases, I wanted to work there, to do the job offered, and work with the folks in the organization. The money was of secondary consideration. I did not regret my decision in either case.
I wouldn't. If they say that they are serious about get it in writing and follow up. I followed up on a verbal and nothing came of it. Now I'm in a position that I have been told by my manager that if I want to move up then I need to find a job with another company.
They could next year say sorry times are tough and we cant give extra money this year
I would say I hope you took it. If you liked the people and the environment is it worth being miserable or taking a chance?
I echo the folks saying be very wary. I once relocated my family 2,000 miles from home for a job that a “friend” was hiring for and I was promised a significant promotion and raise within a year if I took the role she offered (and helped HER get promoted). Well she got her promotion within that year and I found out like everyone else in the company that “my” promotion was given to someone else in a mass email to the whole company. I quit and had to relocate us all back home. That was a painful lesson in corporate politics.
If you appiled at a position and they countered at a different, lower position, then I would keep looking, I wouldnt recommend de-valuing yourself.
No which is why I will ask the range then tell them I would be happy with the top of the range, if its near my limit to maintain my dignity. Never count on such promises, or promises of yearly bonus to make up your salary.
Nice if they happen, but don't count on them.
Get it in writing that even if you don’t get a promotion or different title, you will at least get a pay increase of x% (or whatever the appropriate amount is for that position).
Be very cautious. They could be saying that for a lot of reasons but so much can change in a year. If it's a large corporation, sudden budget changes and delays are frequent and expected. Unless it's a small company, the person telling you that is likely not in control of what happens a year from now and is working off ever-changing-expectations.
no don't believe it.
It depends on the person hiring you
Ask for it to be put in writing.
If you’re miserable at your current company, you need to get out. You need a change. Take the opportunity and prove that you’re capable of the new responsibilities. But as everyone suggests, make sure it’s noted in writing and they also need to define the specifics.
I worked for a biotech and a coworker was hired on that basis; not only a monetary raise but also a title raise. The boss had forgotten about it but he showed his agreement to HR and sure enough he got the raise and title he wanted.
Contextualize your situation, and be clear that you can't have it al. There are many out there unemployed, job market is tough. Be realistic with that fact. However, don't keep high hopes in any commitment from the employer for something that is in future. Tomorrow they may create a new position and bring a new candidate for the post that you are expecting for yourself.
