I’ve been job searching for a while now (maybe 6 months) just to see if I can get higher pay. But just recently I started thinking about what benefits would be much more beneficial and negotiable. I’ve heard some people successfully negotiate extra PTO, signing bonuses, or even better retirement contributions. What benefits have you actually been able to negotiate during the offer stage, and how did you bring it up?

What's most important is to make sure, during the interview process, that you learn about the full range of benefits offered. You don't want to be lured by a higher salary and discover that you've taken in a hit in benefits. Things like a 401(k) match should be taken into account, along with health coverage and PTO. When it comes to negotiating, a lot of organizations have standardized benefits so there's often not a lot of flexibility there. I've known people to negotiate for more PTO, but in some cases that's set to a formula and there's no flexibility there.

you can ask. just ask during the negotiation process to see what is possible - same way that would you negotiate salary or anything else. just need a good justification and a clear ask!

Thinking of switching employers. Do you think bigger retail stores (the ones that have several locations) are easier or harder to work at than little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores (which is all I've ever done)?

So glad I found this bowl. How do you go about negotiating your salary? I applied for a new role and was offered the job. But the pay we haven’t discussed yet. I never did this and heck I don’t know where to start.

I received a job offer from company A and am currently negotiating salary. I have an interview with company B next week and know that they offer a higher base pay. There’s no guarantee that I will be offered a job at company B but my gut is telling me that company B would be a better fit for me. Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?

Should I Go Back and Reneg? Recently I was offered a role as a Project Implementation Manager (In Retirement Services) .The salary range for Colorado residents was 65-89K. I’m located in NY so the recruiter said he would try to get me more. Ultimately he came back at 90K which is a bit inline with that I was seeing on Glassdoor but approx looks like I may leave 10-12K on the table. I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice

I'm new to all this. Is it best to save 10% of my salary all in my company's 401k (with 20% match, increasing by 5% every year)... or saving 5% in 401k and 5% in a Roth IRA?
