GREAT topic for an AMA. My Q: Sometimes more salary isn’t in the cards. Are there alternative forms of comp you’ve seen folks negotiate? Maybe more PTO, shares… other things?
Following up on that question, how do you document the agreed to alternative compensation? Is a mention in an offer letter enough? What will hold up when someone later says HR doesn’t approve or the whole department is under a new policy voiding previous agreements? Thanks!
100% Anything is negotiable:
To add on Mark’s Q:
Full comp options:
• More paid vacation/a flexible work schedule
• Paid parking or transportation
• Continuing education/ conferences/tuition reimbursement
• Increased benefits or coverage
• Working from home setup/ telecommute tech options
• Signing bonus
• Paid moving expenses
• Guaranteed bonus at X months
• That corner office you’ve been eyeing (if you’re in-person)
• A new title
• A wardrobe allowance
• Guaranteed severance package
Only bring up full compensation AFTER you’ve negotiated for money.
