I've been with a company for 10 yrs, where I have about $100K in RSU that vests next year. I just got an offer from another company that does not take into account my RSU position.

Has anyone successfully asked for a stock option match during offer negotiation? How did you do it?

Yep, please talk about it with them. Think of it as “what it takes to walk away,” not just what the new role pays. I framed mine as: “I have $X in unvested equity. I’m excited about this opportunity, but I would need help closing that gap to make the transition realistic.” When I negotiated, I didn’t get a 1:1 match, but they offered a combo of RSUs and a sign-on that softened the blow.

Agree with this!

That is small enough they should be able to match. Just offer to pay it back if you leave within a year

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

I’ve been verbally offered a position at a new company, but the recruiter insists on getting a verbal acceptance before sending the offer in writing. This person insists on negotiating salary before sending the paperwork. Generic benefits, RSUs, bonus info have been provided; it’s all unofficial.

This is absurd. Am I missing some “new way” of doing things? Your take?

I’m currently in a lease admin type role, in commercial real estate. I make a base salary of $50.5K with about $9k in bonuses. I’ve continuously received 7-10% raises over the last 3 years. I anticipate getting a promotion this year and would like to get closer to $60k for my base salary. I’m the only person in my role at the company and have been a key person in developing our team as we look to expand. Is this unreasonable? Is there a normal increase given with promotions? Thanks in advance!

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

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.
