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.

What company is this?!

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?

Any Bridge Engineers/Structural Engineers in here? I got my PE this year and have 5 YOE in TX + an MS. What sort of raise would you expect for receiving your PE working in a consulting firm? I am EOR on a number of structures in development, I manage EITs and Drafters (within projects; I'm not a supervisor), and am doing a lot in general. I'm at 78k currently, which is apparently still in the upper range of EIT salaries per a job posting in CO. I'm thinking of 15% (5% merit, 10% PE). Any ideas?

So I make around 35% below market for my titled role. My employer used “startup” as the reason when I was hired, but they’ve finally stopped using that excuse. I was fine with it, because I was promised a promotion within 12 months due to scope change. I’ve now been promoted twice, but in responsibility only. My boss said it’ll be another 18-24 months until my director promo is approved and goes into effect. More in comments
