I negotiated not moving for a job that was high travel. I knew I couldn’t move so I had to make my peace that the job might not work out by saying this.

All of the people who did get forced to move hated that I didn’t have to move. However I am glad I didn’t move as the job collapsed about 2 years later and I would have been stuck in a town with few opportunities

It helped that I was willing to give in other ways (I.e. traveling more). Also, it helped to know who could make the call. The first two times they offered the job with moving I declined. I ended up talking to the senior person and he was fine with the arrangement

I didn’t negotiate this for my current role but for a prior role I made sure time off was part of the discussion as some companies base annual days on seniority with the brand

Sounds like a fit mismatch! Congrats on confidently turning it down, and hope you've found your opportunity!

I have a close friend who negotiated to work from anywhere in the world after spending 1 year working for the company in New York. He plans to move to Paris this year and Tokyo next year. Genius.

Total Comp = base + bonus. I pit two competitors against each other and each firm upped the total compensation package offered.

Did you actually have an offer from a competitor or did you bluff?

How do you deal with counter offers? I have an offer to join a larger tech company in a more senior role, with bonus and RSUs that my current start up can’t match. But my current company want me to stay. They offered an increased base salary which is still below the new offer and I went back and said no, so they might increase. This only came about by me exploring a headhunt approach after being underpaid by my current company for the time I’ve been here . Would you hear them out or just leave?

What's the best way to ask for a pay raise?

When I was headhunted for the job, ESG was a relatively new concept and too few companies hire for related positions. I didn't find any salary range from Glassdoor or anywhere so I had no idea. My fault was I did not ask the HR and just gave my asking salary. When I saw a similar post from my company (I was already hired that time), they were already including the pay range and I realized mine was way below. I'm already 2.8 yrs in the role.
