anchor first.. always.

when useful, pull out the card “I have another opportunity at X price. Do you want to match it?” if they say no, they never really wanted you.

It’s in the candidates best interest to ask for what they want. Learn to negotiate.. be willing to walk away.

If the employer doesn’t give you what you want, it’s usually not worth your time and energy to move forward.

I have a possible opportunity at Protiviti. Coming from big4 and wondering if Protiviti has fairly similar perks. I’ve read the 2022 benefits guide and it gave a oddly low PTO count of 16 days. Is this true and what about a holiday disconnect in the December time period? Are there any other hidden perks that are awesome? Already heard WLB is better and the culture, but I feel like I’ve gotta find that out first hand. Protiviti
