Hi all,
I got a job offer today and would like to negotiating several issues. I'm OK with the salary but would like to negotiating for the following issues:
1. 1 week later starting date. They propose Mar 16 but I would like to start Mar 23.
2. Flexible starting hours plus 1/2 hour lunch. Their official office hours are 8-5 including 1 hour lunch but I would like to either start at 6:30 or 9 with 1/2 hour lunch.
3. Health insurance benefit to start from day 1. Currently, all the benefits started after 3 months probationary period. In the past, I was able to asked my employer to give me health insurance starting from day 1 even though the original offer was after 3 months. Somone told me not to even ask this for fear being sound like you I'm ready to abuse their health plan and sick leave from the moment I start work. Anyone want to share their experience?
I'm wondering if I should send email with all these 3 requests altogether but afraid maybe it'd look too much and therefore they'd agree with just a few of them. Or, should I be asking for one issue at a time? If I can't have it all, at least, I need to get point no. 1&2. TIA!
