Is it possible to negotiate for number of PTO days with Google ?

Google gives 15 PTOs by default. At FB we have 21 days, is it possible to negotiate it to at least 20 ?

Nope

Are you sure ? Another Googler in this thread (https://us.teamblind.com/s/A3MOYRWL) asked me to negotiate vacation days

Well try it. It didn’t work for me (and I was coming from FB :-))

Is it normal for the offer to say that the salary is “subject to periodic review”?

Facebook MENF21 OP May 2, 2019

That’s what my offer says

Recently accepted mine and it said that. Seems like it’s standard

Why is everyone leaving FB?

Facebook MENF21 OP May 2, 2019

Shitty WLB, performance review stress I believe

Average hours / week? What happens when you don't meet perf? Pip?

Google policies May 2, 2019

Although there is an official PTO limit. There is no one counting it. It's ok if you go a few days extra. You can talk to your manager about it. If you planning for a few months, well that could be a problem.

Thanks. My main concern is, is the number of PTOs negotiable at all ? If not, then there’s no point wasting time with the recruiter ?

Google policies May 2, 2019

Officially no. Recruiter can't do it.

I mean what will extra 5 days do? Not worth negotiating this... Just take sick time if you really need it

Facebook MENF21 OP May 2, 2019

How many sick days does Google have ? Unlimited ?

Oscar 🐨koala May 2, 2019

If you have unlimited sick days, that’s unlimited pto...

If you're happy to be immoral and unethical, sure. Some people aren't like that.

Oscar 🐨koala May 3, 2019

I am happy to be like that sir

There is no official way to adjust this.
