They accepted my salary counter, which is amazing, but the 10-day vacation benefit keeps nagging at me. Should I go back and ask for more PTO or call it a win? I don't want them rethinking everything after they already agreed to higher pay.

Congratulations! Accept this win and assess the possibility to request additional PTO once you have joined the firm. You may have greater leverage then, and it would be a more effective approach than revisiting the matter multiple times at this juncture.

Learn the lesson to include it with the counter. Especially after they accepted that, it’ll look awful to try and do something else.

I mean, I don't really think there's any harm in asking. They might say no in which case you have your answer but they might say yes. I think it's worth risking it.

I agree with ASC 1. You should have included it in your initial counter. The salami tactics won't work in this situation. You risk the offer being pulled in this market!

This is likely something that should have been included with the original ask, as others have noted - however, I'd suggest a time-bound review of your overall comp.

You could ask them to put in the agreement, something in relation to review of your total compensation within 6 months (you could make it specific to PTO, but total comp gives you more latitude if they won't budge on PTO).

If they review total comp in 6 months, but then can't move on PTO, ask for a raise and take unpaid time off - it all comes out in the wash, but at least you're protecting you interests and ability to negotiate. As well it gives you a performance temperature read 6 months into the new role.

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?

Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
