What’s one non negotiable you absolutely have to have as part of your salary package? For me I would say it’s probably time off/vacation allowance

Semi-decent 401k match. I’m playing catch-up and need every little bit.

Agree with this, the match is useful

Time off

like

Completely agree, this is so key

Unlimited PTO is a great perk, but only if there isn't a soft/hard cap - or it's not really unlimited. Aside from that Retirement savings and health/wellness spending are big bonuses. - speaking of that, bonus programs too are high on the list.

I have. But the problem is it creates ambiguity amongst employees, who will under-use vacation. And then you’ll have the few who try to test the limits of truly unlimited policies.

That’s where some caps come in - which again, creates a problem. It should just be capped then if they’re hiding a soft cap behind “unlimited” PTO.

Time off!!

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
