It happens. Sometimes budgets are budgets. Sign-on bonus sometimes but lots of talent available right now. Don’t push too hard or you risk them rescinding the offer.
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve been giving myself space to process the offer, but def agree if i’m not 100% about it, it’s a no.
I had this issue since my agency is teeny tiny and there isn’t much wiggle room - was able to get extra vacation days and a decent EOY bonus, and have them contribute to my 401k within my first month instead of waiting a full year
plus WFH days 3 days per week if I wanted since my commute was rough (before the pandemic lolol)
You can also ask about other benefits like training/education if that’s important to you.

Try extra days of vacation or immediate health benefits without probationary period.
Good tip, thanks Art Director! I asked for an additional week of PTO so we will see what they reply in the morning.
I work at OMD and it’s an agency I don’t recommend to people. I’m trying to leave myself
Especially with the current WFH situation and the ever-blurring line between “work” and “home,” having paid OT is amazing.
I’m also salary, and everything after 40 gets time and a half. It had never occurred to me before to ask in regards to a salaried role, but when they couldn’t budge on the initial offer, they suggested paid OT. It’s been an amazing thing to have this year!
