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.

Yes! Ask for them to send you the offer to review, and you'll get back to them within 24 hours.
After taking at least 12 hours - come back, say you're really excited to join the company - but you want to know if the offer is negotiable. The hard truth is.. companies never lead with their best offer.
Make sure you've done your research, and can speak to why you're asking for more, and be direct. if the offer pays 90k and you want 100k as an example - say, 100k/year is reflective of my skills, experience, title and location based on 'list your facts'.
They'll be very direct in letting you know if they can or can't do it. But you ALWAYS need to ask, that's my best advice. Good luck and you got this!!
Advisor 1 - I’d take the second offer. The. At your 90 day review, ask for a formal review of performance e and compensation; or hedge your bets - and ask for it in 6 months.
But you want to avoid accepting the job, and then negotiating too much. Or they’ll call the number 2 candidate, hire them and then walk you - unfortunately.

In the current job market you may very well be overqualified, but there are 10 qualified pr also overqualified applicants lined up behind you. Not the time to be bold unless you can afford to let them walk away.
Coach
So true. The current market seems oversaturated with qualified candidates
I find that even within each band, they have specific budget for that role. In one department level 4 meant one budget. And in a different department level 4 meant a higher budget.
Coach
True. Funding out what the bands are has been tricky for me
I usually ask about the range for the role. I always try to negotiate the higher end of it, but over that they usually won't do. I have seen offers get rescinded when people tried to push too hard.
Coach
Very fair. I normally try this too
If only employers were tranparant and paid what people were worht
Coach
It’s so hard to figure out the worth piece - I wish it was more standardized!
Keep advocating for yourself
You should always try to negotiate. Some organizations will have salary bands that represent a limit, but there's usually a lot of flexibility within those bands. Say you were expecting more for the role, and see if you can find any flex. As long as you're respectful and don't come off as unprofessional or recklessly demanding you won't offend anyone.
Coach
Very fair. Thank you!
You can most certainly ask - I think if you’re in the final stages and get an offer see if they can up the comp or your role, but they may be tight on budget so it really depends. I wouldn’t do this negotiation until only you have the offer and also gauge how strong the relationship with the hiring manager is
