What happens when most of your team is Indian?
I signed my offer letter yesterday and got a competing offer today. I want to negotiate extra PTO time (18 vs 23, going to ask for 20). I am a new grad. Is it advisable? Is there a good way to do this? I am going to take the first offer regardless. #tech TC: ~90k
If you are going to take the first offer regardless, you have no leverage
Not worth it for just 2 extra days of pto if you’re going to choose that company anyway. A lot of teams and managers are chill about time offs and don’t keep track or care about you applying them either as long as you’re a good performer.
New college grads should never negotiate and asking for more PTO is a bad move. Take the job, be happy and move on.
A hire has something to offer regardless of years of experience. If not, they wouldn't have been selected. Any manager with your mentality should be avoided. OP, in this case it might be too late because you already accepted but don't ever believe you're not valuable enough to negotiate. If a company only thinks they are doing you a favor then don't expect them to treat you well when you get there.
It doesn't matter, especially on this economy when OP can easily be replaced by someone else. New hires have the least to offer and playing games like asking for more vacation time isn't a good move. I don't sense that company feels the way you project and you are making lots of assumptions here, but you sound like a bitter employee who has issues with management. Any person with your mentality should be avoided too. Your sense of entitlement is a red flag to companies.
Definitely sign the second offer as well. This is a negotiation tactic.
This is a bad negotiation tactic.
Yes, this scenario will make you end up with 0 job offers very quickly
Maybe update this with the 2 offers. Keep in mind 1 yr ago this place was flooded with rescinded offer threads, or people laid off after 1 week. Are you sure you made the best choice based on available information?
Take the competing offer if the pay is higher, why not. But negotiation for pto is probably not gonna go thru since its most likely company wide policy
lmao you're going risk it for TWO vacation days? just call in sick what are you even thinking
No you signed the offer, the time for renegotiations are over. Especially being a new grad you have zero leverage. There are thousands of applicants that are better qualified and have a more mature attitude than you. If a new grad applicant tried to pull this shit on me, I would make sure to black ball them from industry.
You’d “black ball” them from the industry? Calm down, people need to take care of themselves first and foremost. You are not your company either so why you would take that so personally is beyond me. Is it moral what they are doing? Meh, not really but such is life.
Btw, I agree that it is not worth reneging.
