Inquiring minds want to know- what’s the biggest salary negotiation you have successfully pulled off? Mine is my most recent job where I successfully got an 8% increase plus an extra week of FTO

8% is really good! The most I've gotten is a little over 5%. Which I thought was actually pretty good, lol.

Congrats, 8% isn't bad in today's world. I had a good negotiation when I was securing my present position, I made a counteroffer to the offer and got most of what I wanted, which amounted to about 10%. Since then, the raises have been pretty stingy, in the low single digits, which seems to be the standard these days.

I grabbed a 50% several years ago and just recently got a 24%.

I was really underpaid a few years back, and now am paid adequately to fairly well depending on how you look at it.

Sometimes you just need to ask. I’d have a reason in the back pocket - and make it about your own work not someone else

Not bad most I got was 10% but I was making really low

8% is great! I got 5% for one role and was happy with that plus additional perks

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.

Hey fishes, recently got an offer of 245k plus a bonus, but no specificity and at least 3% cost of living annual raise. My current job I make 150k plus a 20% bonus and an annual cost of living raise anywhere from 2-3.5%. Have been in my current position about a year. Things have been a bit bumpy (not a me issue) I have a new supervisor and was recently given 7 direct reports (I had zero before). The new position while comes with a significant raise is a move to California. Any thoughts?
