What is a good salary for a director in NY?
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.

Absolutely feeling this. I've started tracking cost-of-living changes before negotiating comp, it’s not just about raises anymore, it’s about keeping up. We shouldn't have to fall behind.
Bringing actual data to the conversation is such a smart strategy. What's been the most eye-opening cost increase you've tracked?
Yeah I'm bringing it into my salary talks. Not as a demand, but as context for why a raise matters now more than ever. Showing you understand the bigger picture can make your ask feel less like a gripe and more like a reasonable adjustment to keep pace with reality.
That sounds like a really thoughtful way to frame it. How has that shifted the tone of your conversations so far?
It’s a great question but sadly I don’t think there a lot of power that I have to negotiate based on this
