Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?

$25k in 2005 in NYC. It was a real struggle.
You are lucky then, mine it was about 1 year ago and it was 60k but I don't think its close to enough for my family.
First position I got in my field was 35k in 2022. I stayed at my job I got while still in college, making 30k. Graduated 2019.
$32k in nyc in 2002. I know a company that was hiring assistant sales reps at the time for $21k. Can you imagine?

$24k in 2004. I was so happy. Now, I need at least $95k to stay afloat. I ain’t even there yet. So, yes, I’m drowning.
Man I think like 30k. Working at some local fast food joint.
