I've received an offer from a company I'm interested in working for. It's over 25% more than my current salary package, which is >$100k. It's for a US company in a country outside the US. I've usually negotiated a bit in the past but I don't think it's worth pushing them on money when it's already quite reasonable.
They called me to 'get my reaction', and I have the night to think about it, so I'm tossing up whether to ask for some non-financial benefits.
I'm curious what else you've asked for and had a company agree to in the past?
The main ones that come to mind are seeing whether I can try to negotiate more paid leave (though I figure they will say they don't have that option). I've already talked about some flexibility on office hours, leave without pay and occasional working form home - all of which they are theoretically OK with to some degree. I might see if I can formalise something (get it in writing, or at least verbally acknowledge it so I don't feel like I'm treading on eggshells about it down the track).
NB - The package is good, though I have another similar (slightly less lucrative) option on the table from another job which I know has good 'quality of life' benefits and that I know lots of people in, so I don't have to take it (though I am leaning towards doing so at this point for various reasons).
