I'm wondering if it's possible for Admin Assistants to negotiate for more PTO as well as salary when offered a position? I know higher level execs can, but can admins?

Depending on the place, yes. I negotiated to get the amount of PTO that people who had worked at the company 3-5 years were getting. It amounted to 6 extra days. My old job I know they would not have. They were very strict with that sort of thing and making sure benefits were equal.

Would love to refer you to our company if you don’t mind! Dm.

Yes, I didn't get the exact salary I wanted so I asked for an extra week of vacation and they gave to me, it is easier for a company to give that than money ... Use that as a last bargaining chip
