Negotiating a new offer, they can’t meet my salary requirement and they already have unlimited PTO. Is it possible to negotiate a shortened vesting period for retirement benefits? I lost $15k from my previous company match because I left before 3 years. Appreciate any advice on that or other benefits I should consider.

Wonder if asking for a signing bonus is good when the company currently doesn’t have 401K company match or stock option?

There are a lot of regulations around 401(k) benefits and being equitable across the entire employee base. I would recommend a signing bonus.

You can’t negotiate terms of 401k, it’s ruled by the plan document/ contract and same for all employee

Havas 1 is right. Also, vesting is a retention tool. This is a good thing to highlight for people who change jobs frequently or about to leave before fully vested. How much are you losing in the long run?

You can ask for a bonus on top of your yearly salary.

Two suggestions: 1) Ask for a signing bonus as other folks have said. 2) if it’s a salary band issue, ask for a higher title or that you be eligible for a promotion/raise at the next review cycle. I once got a new jobs for the same base salary as my previous one - which was already 15k more than their original target base for the role and out of their salary band - but they made it happen by offering me a bump in title to be able to match what I was previously making, and that title change also came with better benefits like more vacation days, higher bonus target, etc
