QUESTION: What’s a non-salary perk that candidates often forget to negotiate but can have a big impact?

Camille Roberts, CC Career Solutions

In addition to a flexible schedule, remote days, professional development, extra PTO, equipment, business-class flights, childcare, eldercare, parking, commuter stipends, relocation expenses, bonuses, patent rewards, and non-negotiables, I coach high achievers to ask for a 6-month promotion evaluation and a performance review cadence. It’s my secret weapon to helping clients get promoted faster!

Non-salary perks can be game changers. Aligned with your personal and professional goals, they can be powerful tools for negotiation. These include 1) professional development reimbursement for education/certifications, 2) flexible scheduling, reducing commuting stress, 3) extra PTO for work/life balance, and 4) review timelines or promotion pathways that set the stage for future salary growth.
