Generally inflexible except maybe slight variations in Salary . I’ve asked for day 1 Health Benefits which was this was more than 6 years which was approved. Also ask for your 401k to be vested sooner than 3-5 years which screws you because they take their matching dollars if you leave early.

I hate negotiating because I don't like confrontation. The only time I negotiated for a higher wage was when I leveraged one job offer for another. I did get a decent wage increase.

“Hi, I would like to have X. This is something of that is important to me because of Y. Would it be possible for us to try Z as a short-term test and measure the impact it has on performance and team collaboration?”

Just say you need it. If they want you bad enough, they’ll do it as long as it doesn’t go against policy. If it’s a benefit you’re losing because you’re changing, also say that.

I regret choosing Deloitte India over USI, salary is same but i liked the clarity of my leadership team, which is still the same they are awesome, but USI people are getting many benefits, on time Hikes and appraisals, but i don't get all of those, which is kinda depressing.
I probably should have choosen USI

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

I am in the process of finding administrative assistant interns from our local universities.

I certainly don't want to mislead anyone on the job responsibilities, but I do want to avoid any potential negative stereotypes attached to that job title. Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?
